You know that these words are truthful.
And that the truth is hard to swallow.
You're lovely and you know it. I'm so caught.
Caught up in me sinking us.
Sinking us. Thinking I.
Thinking I might go back for a second.
Leave me here on the porch in the rain.
For once in my life I wish I could
Just be right and right all the wrong.
I know I've said some things not worth saying.
And that's why tonight I die.
Sinking us. Thinking I.
Thinking I might go back to the home that you grew up in.
Because you said that we were so much more than you heard of before.
Lies won't strip these eyes and won't leave me standing here.
