I was in a fog, I didn't notice everything everything
|
Was coming all apart inside of me
|
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
|
You made a slow disaster out of me
|
|
There's a radiant darkness upon us
|
But I don't want you to worry
|
I was careful but nothing is harmless
|
Baby you better hurry
|
|
You were a kindness when I was a stranger
|
But I wouldn't ask for what I didn't need
|
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
|
Why would you shatter somebody like me
|
|
It doesn't work that way
|
Wanting not to want you won't make it so
|
It doesn't work that way
|
Don't leave me here alone
|
|
I'll do what I can to be a confident wreck
|
Can't feel this way forever I mean
|
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
|
You made a slow disaster out of me
|
|
There's a radiant darkness upon us
|
But I don't want you to worry
|
I was careful but nothing is harmless
|
Baby you better hurry
|
|
You were a kindness when I was a stranger
|
But I wouldn't ask for what I didn't need
|
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
|
Why would you shatter somebody like me
|
|
It doesn't work that way
|
Wanting not to want you won't make it so
|
It doesn't work that way
|
Don't leave me here alone
|
|
It doesn't work that way
|
Wanting not to want you won't make it so
|
It doesn't work that way
|
Don't leave me here alone
