A Desperate Light

If I could have talked to him one last time, I think I'd have started off as pathetic as I was a year ago...

Baby, were all the lies they told us all true?

They were the lies you told yourself - the ones I told you, maybe a few.

I don't know what to do...

Don't expect me to carry you.

I don't know

                    how to stop this time...

Just take your fucking hand out of mine.

Maybe all the dreams I had were

             Never real...

Delusions, from the start. You painted me as your ideal.

I don't know what... to...feel ....inside.

Let me guess, 

                    no one held you when you cried?

Day slowly turning into night

Dramatic, as usual. You should love someone because, not despite.

I'm just waiting on the wild sun.

And that light isn't me - 

                                You always knew I wasn't the one.

Italics - "Wild Sun" by the Strumbellas
