You’re scared of good things happening
because they always get ripped from you
and you have a devil in your ear telling you
you don’t deserve it. Remind me to kiss the woman
who brought you into this world with deaf ears.
You’re scared of good things happening
because they always get ripped from you
and you have a devil in your ear telling you

who brought you into this world with deaf ears.
Even though I understand it, the distance still hurts.
scared of vulnerability, scared of abandonment.
I’m scared too, but either we try or say we never knew.
Love is always risky, that doesn’t mean it won’t pay off.
I know you’ll make it through
and it won’t always be this heavy.
You never deserved this pain
but it will make you the strongest man one day.
You have so much good to still give
so come on baby, just live.
It’s still dark out and I didn’t sleep too well
So I’m awake and all emotional over you
Angry that I’m feeling so much when you never felt enough
I have to let this severed piece bleed out and finally die.
Because I’ve been cutting it
only to restitch and rebandage the hurt.
So I’ll take my half of the blame
If you finally quit playing this game
Because I don’t know if I’ll survive
another time with you calling out my name.
There are millions of soldiers who have lost your battle
and still you stand, chest cracked open and bleeding.
You raise your voice for the ones fallen before you
combating the Demons screaming for your surrender.
You silence them with your strength, even with wounds still tender.
The lack of security in your heart
keeps your mind on guard for the graveyard shift.
You’ve seen an unkind world close up, right in your own kitchen.
But even the most beautiful flowers are planted in dark soil
so please close your eyes and sleep tonight.
You’ve only just gone
but I miss you already.
I told you to Take care and be good
I know I can’t hold you now, but just know I wish I could.
The snow continues to fall, while I’m inside
hurting like Hell because you haven’t called.
I’m wondering if you ever really cared at all.
I can finally stop playing the fool
who thought we would always be together.
I’ve been through enough cold weather
and heart ache.
It was the lack of effort
that told me all I needed to know.
I was in this all alone.
You had given up a long time ago.
I’m sleeping just fine
while I’m probably on your mind
still keeping you up.
And you’re mad at yourself
for giving a damn
now that I’m gone.
And you’re mad at yourself
for not giving enough of a damn
back when I would have given you
my whole world
if that’s what you wanted.
But now I don’t care about what you want
You can tell it all to the ghost of mine
that still haunts when you can’t sleep.
