lyrics

You picked me out of a crowd and lifted me up.
I must have looked so simple in my sweater and good boy haircut.
Stumbled down to GRC and got blacked out.
Brazen, brassy, bellowing over Oak and Chestnut.

I got wrapped up in your web before too long:
Skipping classes, skipping phrases, skipping shadows on the wall.
Crying midnight calls, and blurry boundaries.
And these lines give proof that you exist, but it’s just not the proof I need.

This was never gonna end well.
It’s so hard to love you now,
but I’m holding so much hope
that the dark might let you out.

It’s been so long that I don’t know where to start.
I know your head can’t be that empty, so it must be your shrinking heart
picking fights when you know I’ll take the bait,
and the longer this goes on the more I think you like the pain.

This was never gonna end well.
It’s so hard to love you now.
But I’m holding so much hope
that the dark might let you out
