I don't care to know
The time on the wall.
The placement of my shoes
On the wood floor.
The last boat has left
Can't carry you afloat.
I fear the empty, wet bed
The empty grey coat.
And I won't go
Till you're asleep.
You open your mouth, like an asthma attack, you repeat,
"If all that you take from this is courage, then I've no regrets."
I wanted to kiss you goodnight.
No longer can pretend, it won't cave in and will be alright.
I wanted to save this last light.
With dawn comes certainty of what we'll be, for now hold me lightly.
I look to the floor.
Your hair like cut grass.
Your vomit it forms
A gold chain 'round your neck.
I won't wake you up
No need for last words.
These last idle hours
More than I deserve.
"You take from this is, courage than I've no regrets."
I wanted to kiss you goodnight.
No longer can pretend, it won't cave in and will be alright.
I wanted to save this last light.
With dawn comes certainty of what we'll be, for now hold me lightly.
Don't settle for less again
You've become more than I
Could have become for you.
Could have inspired to be
Hesitation will leave
Dents on the walls and the rail.
And your scent will leave me
With more faith in myself.
I wanted to kiss you goodnight.
No longer can pretend, it won't cave in and will be alright.
Wanted to tell you I lied.
I said I'd make it through this world alright, but I don't care to try.
I'd make it through this world alright, but I don't care to try.
