lyrics

I know you’ve been alone; hopeless for quite some time now.
Just let me be the one—for once—if I could push these words out of my mouth.
Say “I’m here,” and how I care, though I can’t speak.
Four pointless years aside, let’s make the most of tonight.

I never thought much of love.
I never did well with trust.
So keep in preparation to leave.
Carry on without me.

I’ll wait outside your balcony to see you weeping.
And I imagine tasting those tears and wishing you goodnight.
Don’t mind me, for now, as I stare.
Looking through your branches quietly.
Breathing softly as you sleep.

I never thought much of love.
I never did well with trust.
So keep in preparation to leave.
Carry on without me.
And I wanna find something worth my time.
I need to stop wondering why my body doesn’t want me to keep a promise I don’t believe.
This is misery.

I’m the breeze against your cheek.
And I set your scenery.
And I’m a wreck without you, but you never feel the same.
But I still pray, I hope you know I’ll wait.
To rest my head with you, upon that pillowcase.

I never thought much of love.
I never did well with trust.
So keep in preparation to leave.
Carry on without me.
And I wanna find something worth my time.
I need to stop wondering why my body doesn’t want me to keep a promise I don’t believe.
This is misery.

I know you’ve been alone; hopeless and lonely without me.
There’s no need to run away from the fact that we’re meant to be.

This is misery.
