I don't know why
Things come out the way they do
I don't know why
I go off at you, my fuse
Has gotten shorter
Since the day that I met you
And I don't know why
I'm always screaming and shouting
So I say sorry
Even if I don't mean it
That's not the way
You should ever have to see me
If I were you
I would've left me years before
But you love me
That's your blessing and your curse
Something
Is wrong inside of me
And I take it out on you
Nothing
Ever makes sense to me
Especially the things you do
I don't know why
Things come out the way they
I don't know why
I go off at you, my fuse
Has gotten shorter
Since the day that I met you
And I don't know why
I'm always screaming and shouting
Something
Is wrong inside of me
And I take it out on you
Nothing
Ever makes sense to me
Especially the things you do
If I were you
I would've left me years before
But you love me
That's your blessing and your curse, you're cursed

There's a mess tangled up in you
The one that he left behind
It takes his form and others too
The job to unravel you is mine
It's become part of you
I wish that it weren't true
It's made you who you are
I love you, but from afar
Open yourself up to me
Please don't go running away
They can't help, they don't know you
I am yours, take what you need
There's a hole left inside of me
The one that they left behind
It takes their form and others too
To fill the void is your design
It's become part of me
Didn't know, but you see
It's made me who I am
I am not worth a damn
Open yourself up to me
Please don't go running away
They can't help, they don't know you
I am yours, take what you need
You're all I need,
I thought the same was true for you
Maybe I was wrong.
We're in this together
It's too late to change that now
Open yourself up to me
Please don't go running away
They can't help, they don't know you
I am yours, take what you need
Open up, let me in
Don't go running away
We're in too deep
If you leave then don't come back

You look me dead in the eyes
Never know I'm there
Well it's no big surprise
As I watch you style your hair
What would you think of me
If you ever knew?
Feel like a child of three
When spoken to by you
Months spent listening
To your voice's lullaby
Like a second Christening
If I wasn't too shy
And then the power cuts
I'm left with nothing
Just a black emptiness
I am nothing
Although you're miles away
I know you still care
Separated by hours and days
I'll always be there
So I send another message
Still you don't answer
Almost like a rite of passage
This forth and forth between me and her
I know you notice me
How could you not?
Only I love so sweetly
My love burns red hot
And then you message me
My world feels whole
What are you trying to say?
I'm falling down a hole
I guess that I'll show you
You never knew how much
I'll follow your life through
You'll always feel my touch

The darkest waters run through my veins
Your sons and daughters screaming your name
In distant quarters never the same
No I don't need you
I never knew a world without you
People grow fewer, no need for a queue
My heart skewered, my world torn in two
No I don't need you
You've done all you can
You made me this man
Can't be around you
What more can I do?
You gave me your all
But still owe me more
A personal attack
Taking your life back
So flee the country
Abandon your child
I won't hunt you
Run for miles
Go on
Just leave
I don't care
You've done all you can
You made me this man
Can't be around you
What more can I do?
You gave me your all
But still owe me more
A personal attack
Taking your life back
You were always there
And I never cared
Now that you are gone
I can't carry on
You want your freedom
It's fine, I don't need them
I take it all back
Please don't go

No matter what I say to you
Don't listen to my words
Don't listen to the hate that flows
I still love you
No matter what you say to me
I'll never believe you
I'll never believe that it is true,
You still love me
Come hottest hell or high water
Sickness or health
Blissful union or divorce
I love you
And always will
When we see each other on weekends
To pass the kids round
Using them to one up each other
I still love you
When you see me with another woman
Who looks just like you
When you were 10 years younger
You still love me
Come hottest hell or high water
Sickness or health
Blissful union or divorce
I love you
And always will
One thing I'd say to you, you've change me now what can I do?
Despite what feelings get added in, love has and will always win
Come hottest hell or high water
Sickness or health
Blissful union or divorce
I love you
And always will

Every time we talk
You catch me off my guard
Make me feel something that I didn't before
Whether good or bad
That's all up to you
And the mood you choose to live in today
The sound of your laugh
The way it bubbles up
Can brighten even the darkest of my skies
But another day
Your voice is monotone
Searching for words but never finding them
Only you can
Snap me out of my
Spells of total self indulgence
It seems today
You need me more
You drag me down again
This might sound sentimental
I know that it sounds trite
Oh girl you're fucking mental
But together we will be alright

Move a little bit closer
Do you see me like I do?
Sitting here overthinking
All the heartache
You put me through
Did I tell you how you made me feel?
How the feeling's real?
What can I do?
Move a little bit closer
Do you see me like I do?
I can't see you
Looking like this
You're not the same person
You gave me so much
You sheltered me
Kept me fed and watered
Now you're so helpless
You've given up
And in just a few weeks
You're not really here
You're just a shell
Dried and shriveling
Move a little bit closer
Do you see me like I do?
Sitting here overthinking
All the heartache
You put me through
Did I tell you how you made me feel?
How the feeling's real?
What can I do?
Move a little bit closer,
Do you see me like I do?
I'm not
The man you thought
Thought I could be
I don't make the time for you
A parasite
Just took and took
Now there's nothing left of you
Is that what you
Think when you
Look me in my lying eyes
I'll call next week
I'll see you soon
Well it's too late now
Move a little bit closer
Do you see me like I do?
Sitting here overthinking
All the heartache
You put me through
Did I tell you how you made me feel?
How the feeling's real?
What can I do?
Move a little bit closer
Do you see me like I do?
Can we put my life on pause?
I don't want to go to war
Can I go back? Can I go back?

Rob me of my dignity
You think I need your pity
Weakening our unity
My benevolent deity
Devote half my life to you
Never question if it's true
Guess I never had a clue
Life has played me for a fool
No footprints in the sand
No legs on which to stand
Missing your guiding hand
Lead me to your promised land
A stranger to my own girls
They're no longer in my world
They come and see me everyday
They will leave but I will stay
Two constant figures by my side
One Constant was my bride
The other is my stolen pride
Wish I could lay my head down
And die
Sit and watch the world go by
People living happy lives
Now that I can't even drive
It feels right to say goodbye

Lying still, existing
Takes so much effort
The sight of it makes me sick
I have thought about death
Often lately but now
I'm staring it right in the face
Your face is a mask of
All of the regrets and
Promises never kept
Please tell me if it was
Worthwhile to see the end
Just that little more quickly
I say my last words to you
To this wax sculpture
You have already left
Paper skin turns to ash
Before my eyes
And it hurts us both to touch
Now inhale
Now exhale
That's all you can do from now until the end
Was it worth it?
Did you prematurely quit?
Or perhaps left it too late?
Either way you left yourself to fate

Bulldozed, crumbling, fault lines showing
Pooled, malleable, passive, unengaged
Hopeful, rising, inflated, bolstered
Dashed, defeated, rethink, new approach
Cautious, doubtful, hesitant, optimistic
Cautious, doubtful, hesitant, optimistic
I, I just wanted to say
Never mind

I see a light, I see a light
I see a light
I see a light, light
The stones around my neck
Have weighed me down
For so long now
I forgot how to breathe
Now that they're gone
I can move on
Finally I see
There's more to life than misery
Today is different
And I'm sure
That now I
See a light, I see a light
I see a light
I see a light, light
