lyrics

You stayed up all night,
Waiting for sunlight
To rear it’s head, your dirty bed
Is overfed and overgrown
And everything I said to you,
Doesn’t mean a thing to you, I know.
But there’s warmth in my heart again,
I’m ready now to start again,
These games I’ve played, the love I’ve saved
Is gaining interests now, I swear
And everything I think about
Revolves around our falling out, I think.

And all this time your tall-told lies are falling slowly
On deafened ears and all my fears are calling out.

But when I pick up sticks and stones,
I play until I warm my bones
And then I think of everything
Before I give up everything
Or I say I do, I swear I do
I think that its time to press forward.
And to everything I’ve ever done
To lovers lost and battles won
I hope you forgive me
To everything I did for you
I screamed until black and blue
I fall over

And all this time your tall-told lies are falling slowly
On deafened ears and all my fears are calling out

And not long ago, you rubbed your nose
On my neck, and your breath would
Brush my hair, and all my cares
Would float away, until the day we
Stopped in our tracks
Mulled it over
One hand on head
One hand on shoulder
And I took your face
Told you darling, I’m—-

Stopped in our tracks
We mulled it over
One hand on head
One hand on shoulder
And I took your face
Told you darling,
I’m done!
