lovelorn - lovelorn
I wasn't so eager to see you go
You poisoned my fate into a shadow
Paragliding through every clouded emotion
But I sensed you were holding on too long and too strong
I wish I knew I was pressing every button
It's become too easy to lose and be forgotten
I played it too safe, anyone can take my place
I'm just another whimsical mistake everybody makes
Did you have to twist the knife and tear out the soul in my bones ?
I won't get back all the nights I wasted mending them all
I can't see myself in the mirror for the fear I won't know who I am anymore
I didn't have to lose like this and be so lovelorn
I'm chasing after you in black and white
I'm turning every key in my eyeline
While everyone was winning life I sat patiently on the sidelines
Till I fade into the aftermath
I wouldn't be so eager to clap
For my victories were folklore and nothing else
Living was some over complicated plan
I wish I knew every move I made meant taking a step back
Every lullaby I sing was once vitriol thrown at me from land
A safety tether I so easily let slip from my hands
As I swam towards the tsunami for another chance
Did you have to twist the knife and tear out the soul in my bones ?
I won't get back all the nights I wasted mending them all
I can't see myself in the mirror for the fear I won't know who I am anymore
I didn't have to lose like this and be so lovelorn
I'm staring down the barrel with no hope
It's just another win I know is tough to follow
I'm chained to the starting line in a one-legged race
I pray they ease the limits to the amount of pain I can take
Did you have to twist the knife and tear out the soul in my bones ?
I won't get back all the nights I wasted mending them all
I can't see myself in the mirror for the fear I won't know who I am anymore
I didn't have to lose like this and be so lovelorn.
