Shallow - STARDUST

If I could curse your ambivalence, I would

You treat gifts like some responsibility, it hurts

You don't seem to wish for better prospects

And your abandoned island mind set makes you hard to care for

But you paint pictures of arid lands and call them your home

You aren't a lost cause you just need a well laid road

If I left a bread trail, would you be inclined to follow 

I don't want to lose my faith in you, because it's all you have that isn't shallow

If only you had tamed you're benevolence, you could

Have kept something for yourself, now you're broken

Every bonding opportunity, you avoided after careful consideration

Its hard to not mistake your independence for loneliness

But you paint pictures of arid lands and call them your home

You aren't a lost cause you just need a well laid road

If I left a bread trail, would you be inclined to follow 

I don't want to lose my faith in you, because it's all you have that isn't shallow

It was the city lights that drew me in 

A sea of lazurite, a reflection of haven

Like every precious jewel, we knew we couldn't afford it 

So we sat hand in hand on a rooftop, pretending we owned it 

Where did all that go? You're a blues lake that can still glow

Yet you chose to drown your sun like all your sorrows 

Deep beneath the surface till it's lost forevermore

But you paint pictures of arid lands and call them your home

You aren't a lost cause you just need a well laid road

If I left a bread trail, would you be inclined to follow 

I don't want to lose my faith in you, because it's all you have that isn't shallow
