βnever say how much you missed her, or that you kissed her sister.β
βfuck all your plans iβm bored.β
βi promise you iβll be better.β
βi made a vow out to the gods.β
βwΠ΅ didnβt talk. we made universΠ΅s out of bitten lips and broken hands.β
βshe laughs as though sheβs not heard the joke ten thousand times before.β
βweβll talkβ
about this tomorrow.β
βyouβusedβto buy meβscotch, but now too much is never enough.β
βthese arenβt tears, itβs just the rain that wasnβt brave enough to fall.β
βdonβt you realise? theyβre just battle cries, dear.β
βstop asking why iβm sad; just know itβs enough to know iβm sad.β
βstop listening to the smiths.β
βif you asked me, i would lose it all, like petals in a storm.β
βitβs getting late.β
βyouβre lying on some coats.β
βwhatever you do, donβt turn.β
βrun until your lungs are numb.β
βrun to show that loveβs worth running to.β
βit cannot be a lie if no-one hears.β
βhow unreasonably in love i am with everything you do.β
βthey might laugh because youβre leaving, but know weβll sing your name when you come home.β
βfor christβs sake just say something.β
βour love is shown in the letting go.β
βthis isnβt a break up, dear heart, itβs a season finale.β
βand iβll withstand whatβs written for the writer in you.β
βtheyβre discussing champagne.β
βi pack what is needed for thΠ΅ journey to come: all my books, all my bracken and booze.β
βwhoβll save you when you fall?β
βsing me awake with a song about pirates.β
βiβm not lonely if iβm with you.β
βi do my best to breathe, but theyβre stealing all the air.β
βiβm dolled up, love.β
βremember today youβre enough.β
βknow weβll always love you, even though youβre leaving us behind.β
βso breathe, breathe, just breathe.β
βitβs nought that rum wonβt solve.β
βevery time we watch netflix we spend two hours deciding what to watch on netflix.β
βiβm between that βjust one moreβ and βdrank too much againβ.β
βthis here is not singing, iβm just screaming in tune.β
βi donβt know what to do, how to help her, how to bring her home.β
βi canβt wait to show you how much i know you can be.β
βletβs wander, βtil the fuckers demand an encore.β
βsome fictions we took to mean fate.β
βthe party swirls around me in a dress i canβt afford.β
βif by palace you mean that asbestos, and beans from a tin, and the gin that we brewed in the bathtub.β
βitβs not fair how much i love you.β
βitβs what my heart just yearns to say in ways that canβt be said.β
βaβ
storm is comingβ
on.β
βcome on, love, please donβt start.β
βnever really liked the pattern that much on the wallpaper so anyway.β
βyou brought me through this darkness but you left me here behind.β
βiβve got something in my eye.β
βtheyβre just dollops of paint on a new work of art.β
βiβve seen enough.β
βyouβll love the way i tell it.β
βfor some reason youβve painted the kitchen lime green.β
βyouβre the words that i promise i donβt mean.β
βi surrender what was, what could have been.β
βgot a headache that just won'tβ
shift.β
βitβs whatβ
myβ
rotting bones willβ
sing when the rest of meβ
is dead.β
βi know the kindest thing is toβleaveβyouβalone.β
βi wish that i could take his hand, but where iβm going is for me and me alone.β
βi chipped my teeth on every joke youβcracked.β
βand when i think iβm fine, youβll visit.β
βtell the truth to me, love, does my hair look as nice as it did when it once tangled up in your eyes?β
βi will bring you ruin in everything i do.β
βi might not make it tonight.β
βyou angel heart. you monster, oh, some godforsaken prospero.β
βif you knew all that iβd done β¦β
βtheyβre running out of things to hold.β
βback then youβ
had hair and your smile wasβ
so sublime.β
βif you knew all that iβd done β¦ the hearts iβve broken.β
βwrite me well my love, write me weird, write me willing, write me well.β
βdonβt say anything.β
βyou donβt see daylight anymore.β
βdonβt you know that itβs not allβ
aboutβ
you anyway?β
βi promise you iβll try.β
βpray for me βcause i wonβt pray for you.β
βletβs hide under the covers.β
βshe sang, βdo you think iβm sexy?β and oh god i really did.β
βand for some godforsaken reason iβm still here, love, like iβve always been before.β
βweβll build a den out of pillows and get drunk again.β
βall that matters is that youβre here.β
βjust because i left doesnβt mean that iβm not still there.β
βiβve waited oh so long for you to come.β
βit seems to me that you canβt sleep.β
βoh, if one more guy calls me darling then i swear to you and to god i will murder them all.β
βwΠ΅βre both unwanted daughters.β
βdo you like my dress? itβs got pockets.β
βthereβs only faces of the unfamous dead; full of people just pretending to be brave.β
βiβve run out of my words, my song, just let me die.β
βso one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off.β
βwhen you think about him, my wings start to flap.β
βdonβt you think i look pretty curled up on this bathroom floor?β
βrun for all the things you wished youβd done.β
βwhy are you wearing all that make up?β
βand now, even though youβre mad and these memories wonβt stay, thatβs okay, 'cause then i get to meet you for the first time every single day.β
βiβm learning to be so much more than my tiredness.β
βgonna go home and show my cat some memes.β
βcanβt you see that iβm enough for you but you donβt want me to be, 'cause that means youβll actually have to be content?β
βi donβt find this easy like you.β
βi loved him then, i love him still.β
βyou canβt rehearse the chorus, but the verse is sweet.β
βi steal the hours and turn the night into day.β
βi donβt know how to reach you when you get like this.β
βiβm the heartbreak that aches far too much to be shunned.β
βyouβre not a coward 'cause you cower; youβre brave because they broke you, yet broken still you breathe.β
βiβm at the brink, donβt laugh.β
βiβll run until i begin to understand what holy men really mean when they speak of sin.β
βi said βpourβ and forgot to say βwhenβ.β
βββchampagneβs the main course.β
βweβll dance together so close weβre sharing breath.β
βi wish iβd known these stones were something i could save.β
βget a grip, weβre grownups.β
βletβs take this outside 'cause weβre one and the same.β
βa broken pot can still hold water.β
βi spend my days so close to you 'cause if iβm standing here, maybe everyone will think iβm alright.β
βthink of all the horrors that i promised you iβd bring.β
βcan you pass me the lighter mate?β
βiβm fine, itβs just a βsitting down in the showerβ day.β
βnow take a good long look at what youβve done to me.β
βwith you, i could summon the gods and the stars.β
βgonna go home and dress my cat up like batman.β
βon that tree iβll carve your name βcause in years to come we both know we wonβt be the same.β
βweβ
can both barely stand.β
βi can smell the smokeβ
ofβ
hell.β
βif there was one place i could be right now, iβd be standing there between you and him.β
β βcause darling, i was born to press my head between your shoulder blades.β
βyou are that space thatβs in between every page, every chord and every screen.β
βi try so hard to make you laugh at me.β
βbut like rubbing wine stains into rugs, itβs my curse to try and make it right, but by trying make it worse.β
βiβm so sorry, iβve done it again.β
βitβs up to you now.β
βi get to watch you grow up now and make me proud, make all of those mistakes that make me laugh.β
βwhereβs the vodka?β
βsomethingβs sucking out your core.β
βwhat you see is not the dark, itβs just the gods upturning inkpots.β
βwho died and made you king of it all?β
βit seems to me that you you canβt dance for shit.β
βthereβs no fucking way youβre from [place].β
βand the candle we lit, well weβll use it to burn this whole place to the ground.β
βhe said, hey, darling, hey, hey, darling, hey.β
βi know they think iβm nightmare.β
βtake my hand, let us waltz for the dead.β
βfor you, i would have gone so much blonder.β
βitβs not fair, 'cause you make me laugh when iβm actually really fucking cross at you for something.β
βgo tell them how we failed you.β
βsymphonies and sweat and sex mean nothing when you are obsessed with sin and soil and strength and song and all the words that came out wrong and him.β
βwe donβt know whatβs out there.β
βi look into the waters and see a face i donβt recognise.β
βletβs try and fit into the same pair of stretchy old track pants and just roll around inside each other for three whole days.β
βwe showed the world that we exist.β
βyour smile tells me iβm safe.β
βitβs like all the wallpaper inside my heart is slowly slowly peeling off and iβm showing allβ
theβ
stains and things theyβ
wrote on the wall before.β
βmight you allow me to slip into something more comfortable then?β
βyou stole the best years of my life.β
βall hell and its fire waits for us.β
βweβll make our christmas decorations out of toilet roll tubes and tinfoil.β
βhow bold i was, could be - will be - still am, by god still am.β
βitβs what i meant.β
βwelcome to my table, bring your hunger.β
βyouβre the one who told me my hair looked better black.β
βiβll sing silence, and ask my glass of wine for guidance.β
β'then maybe youβd still be snuggled here in my bed watching netflix. and now i canβt 'cause you changed the password when you left.β
βi wish that iβd been brave.β
βwe callΠ΅d them all liars.β
βbut you lack the conviction to look at me straight and say yes.β
βthereβs something changed.β
βgive me two damn minutes and iβll be fine.β
βyou watch the stars hurl all their fundaments in wonderment.β
βget drunk for me, sing louder than youβve sung for me.β
βwhatβs that hold that the big dark king of nothing has got on you?β
βbut iβll stick up for you, even though you havenβt got a fucking clue.β
βi cannot sleep when all you do is cry.β
βi toast to their talents.β
βhow wrong you were.β
βi tried, i really fucking tried.β
β'cause although you say good day to me, i know i donβt belong.β
βsweet nothings are screamed not spoken.β
βback then i was dauntless.β
βall the bastards applaud when i show that iβm flawed.β
βnow my inkβs blood-red, not black.β
βitβs just sometimes nice to feel what itβs like to be in someone elseβs coat.β
βyou were raised by wolves and voices.β
βi mop up what is left of my lungs.β
βi could try to calm you down but i know you wonβt.β
βyou were supposed to be my light and keep me safe against them all. how could you leave me here?β
βeveryone knows how sex is better when youβre unemployed.β
βand i laugh, and i laugh βcause laughing right now, itβs all, itβs all that i have.β
βfarewell wanderlust, youβve been oh so kind.β
βyouβre not flawed darling, youβre just a little under-rehearsed.β
βitβs never my intention but it happens all the same.β
βyour eyes arenβt rivers there to weep, but a place for crows to rest their feet.β
βiβm not going to scream, beat my chest at the wind. iβm doing fine.β
βyouβll never get your dinner if you donβt learn how to get along.β
βoh we, weβre gonna get on.β
βi make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right.β
βi wouldβ
have stayed ifβ
youβd had asked.β
βfret not dear heart.β
βiβm here and iβm alive.β
βthis is us, this is me, and this how weβre meant to be.β
βi cannot find the words to keep you.β
βcome rest for the winter, wear my jumper all night long.β
βyou look like i need a drink.β
βare you god or devil?β
βiβm the hardest goodbye that youβll ever have to say.β
βiβll play our song to see if the pianoβs in tune.β
βcome rip up the flesh of my fears.β
βdo you think she even knows i bought my shoes from oxfam?β
βcould be ghosts or monsters or a robot vampire, i dunno.β
βwhat the hell went wrong, 'cause we had this planned.β
βwithout you, iβm stronger, iβm no longer filled with wonder.β
βthe best laid plans had it all planned.β
βoh darling lord, how you make me laugh.β
βlook at me as you say this, donβt look at your phone.β
βi know i wonβt be long βcause i know i donβt belong.β
βcanβt you see that iβm enough for you but you donβt want me to be?β
βdo yβknow what they cost?β
βif god make us all in his image, then godβs a fucking nerd.β
βif iβm good, will you come back?β
βis that what you think of me now?β
βiβll spend my days so close to you 'cause if iβm standing here maybe everyone will think iβm cool.β
βi know sheβs giving up.β
βheβs falling out of touch.β
βyou donβt have to be brilliant.β
βi promise you thereβs more.β
βi need a drink or two.β
βyou dad will forget the words.β
βand i love you, donβt you know.β
βdo i have to be who i am?β
βiβll give them back.β
βiβll yell it from the rooftops for you.β
βitβs just your voice learning for once to stand up tall.β
βevery night i hear them howling.β
βforβa time thereβis timelessness.β
βyou gave us such a fright.β
βi wonβt let you turn our last night into this.β
βiβve been waiting for you to come home.β
βlet not them hear the mutterings of all your fears.β
βi know exactly what i want, and itβs this life that weβve created.β
βthis here is not makeup, itβs a porcelain tomb.β
βmy heart is tearing pages from that funny story i rehearsed.β
βiβm not lonΠ΅ly, i just like being on my own.β
βare you cain, 'cause iβm not abel.β
βyeah, well iβm sorry too.β
βtake me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out 'cause they thought you were drunk.β
βyou are screaming far too loud to hear me swear.β
βfor the first time in all my life, i know iβm more than what i fear.β
βiβll take my fucking time.β
βcanβt we just talk about this?β
βcertainly fucking feels like it.β
βiβm not telling but you can fuck off if no one will come back for you.β
βyouβre better than this.β
βyouβre going too fast.β
βheβs got so much fucking hair.β
βsometimes i fall to pieces, just to see what bits of me donβt fit.β
βof all the flowers you picked, i knew you would forget forget-me-nots.β
βdonβt you ever wonder what could have been?β
βmy dress is on fire.β
βwe donβt have time to fuck around.β
βi will be the man my father never was.β
βthe oldies at the back try their best to hack their way out with the gardenerβs pruning shears.β
βdid you tell them about the time we met?β
βyour face lights up like youβve woken up from this endless fucking nightmare of pretending this is you.β
βif we join our hands in prayer enough to god, i imagine it all starts to sound like applause.β
βand fucking bastard what is it.β
βbut now iβm leading doesnβt that just scare you to death?β
βalthough you hold my hand and say βi love you,β you are wrong.β
βtheyβll sing of every time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child.β
βletβs dance together.β
βi hope to god iβm not the first.β
βweβre drunk but drinking.β
βa new us has begun.β
βi will try to harmonise.β
βwitness me, old man, i am the wild.β
βplease donβt do this, my heart is breaking.β
βmy headβs not yours itβs mine.β
βstop making up death wishes.β
βyou do not get to hurt me just because i asked you once if you were alright.β
βwant some pancakes?β
βi canβt do this, you donβt understand.β
βtheyβll speak of me in whispered tones and say my name like it shakes their bones.β
βiβm stronger now than you have ever known.β
βyou couldnβt lie then and you sure as hell canβt lie to me now.β
βso long to the person you begged me to be.β
βnothing quite prepares you for when they donβt come back.β
βi forgot to pack them lunches.β
βheβs awesome, like me.β
βflirting at the back of a bookshop.β
βi forgive them at last.β
βif you ever touch or harm him, please rest assured that you might not fear a man, but to a woman by the end youβll kneel and plea.β
βwhy wonβt you just tell them all to fuck off, love, and be mine?β
βwelcome to the storm, i am thunder.β
βiβd burn so bright it blinded.β
βitβs not fair 'cause you make me ache, you bastard.β
βiβd catch you every time you fell.β
βgive me back my heart, you wingless thing.β
βcanβt you hear that scratching? thereβs something at the door.β
βyou say the words so often that i barely know the meaning.β
βyou are in the earth of me.β
βdo you like my accent?β
βwhy wonβt you believe i love you if iβm not hurting you?β
βoh, the hearts iβve broken β¦β
βwhat you hear is not silence, itβs just the trees waiting to hear what next youβll hum.β
βthat creaking you hear in my bones is not pain, itβs applause.β
βdonβt turn around dear.β
βwith every strength i have, i ask if you play d&d.β
βmy friends are telling me iβm pissed.β
βrun for all you know thatβs coming.β
βyou brought me to this party but you left me here behind.β
βi wish iβd done things different.β
βit doesnβt know how to get out.β
βi donβt know, but iβm here, iβm all yours, dear heart, donβt cry.β
βi look at the phone on the floor and i drink that nice wine you were saving.β
βwatch me choke at your bad joke.β
βtheyβ
said it allβ
comes down to you.β
βi wonβt leave without a fight.β
βwhen you were young, youβd kick things just to see if they would fall.β
βi know the kindest thing is to never leave you alone.β
ββcause iβm not trapped, with you, you see - youβre the one whoβs trapped with me.β
βchrist, youβll be the death of me.β
βyouβre the one who told me to never look back.β
βmy jokes are my armour, and my kindness is my sword.β
βi make jokes to show how broken i really am.β
βyou were in a band.β
βremember today you are loved.β
βhold me, lover, like you used to.β
βand i will wait and hope and rest my head at night content knowing where my marbles went.β
βme wearing your clothes just to surprise you when you come home all tired of those wankers that you serve all night.β
βitβs saving me now, love.β
βhow the fuck am i supposed to carry on without you here?β
βthe wine stains hide the tears.β
βyou rip my ribcage open and devour whatβs truly yours.β
βwhatβs the point anymore?β
βdonβt lie with your eyes, you know i despise that look.β
βoh my god itβs so unfair.β
βandβ
that drink, will it fix allβ
those questions unasked?β
βi know youβre strong enough to do this on your own.β
βi know that iβve been through the wars.β
βyouβre the thigh-high hemline i just canβt stop staring at.β
βhe doesnβt understand.β
βtodayβiβsomehow understand theβreason i wasβborn.β
βbut where you see weakness i see wit.β
βthe minute i met you, the colours of my life began to pour.β
βtry please try for me.β
βi pick up the phone, dial your number and wait.β
βiβve loved you, for a hundred years.β
βif my old mum could see me now, oh how sheβd howl.β
βi put up fairy lights just to distract you.β
βiβve even learned to cook.β
βyouβve no clue how to sew.β
βweβd hate to see your mascara drip into your pint.β
βiβm filming shit onβ
that camera you nicked.β
βyou donβt need to pretend to be someone youβre not.β
βour gods have abandoned us.β
βiβm the tales that the guests will applaud and believe.β
βa song youβ
know'sβ
begun.β
βoh those folks will run and tell the tales of what iβve become.β
βwhere have you been?β
βiβm the captain of courage youβve eternally lacked.β
βi watched that woman drown.β
βwhere iβm going is for me and me alone.β
βiβll run until i begin to understand what holy men really mean when they speak of sand and sons and seams and symphonies and sweat and sex and sin.β
βyou dragged us both into the darkness that grows.β
βtear me up and burn me up and rip me up and leave your hand on the wall as you go.β
βitβs not fair 'cause you make me weep when iβm just trying to watch the office with my yoghurt.β
βbe good, be safe, be kind.β
βwhatβs left is the mess that you left when you told me i wasnβt right in the head.β
βgo tell them how we fucked you up.β
βi donβt want them to go.β
βjust relax and come to bed with me.β
βyou try so loud to love me; i cannot seem to hear.β
βiβll darn you back together.β
βtomorrowβs jokes have yet to be laughed at or said.β
βi promise you iβm not broken.β
βi promise to be patient.β
βiβve been here so many times before.β
βyouβre so beautiful to me.β
βiβm untangling my headphones βcause sometimes theyβre the only thing that keeps my head in place.
βiβm going to binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce.β
βpour me wine by my bed.β
βiβll watch her ruin her life and dye her hair bright colours.β
βyou promise to be kind.β
βoh, darling, please be mine.β
βi drag myself like a rug in the rain.β
βiβm your angel ellipsis, your devil of dots.β
βi promise you iβll write.β
βiβm the saint of the paint that was left in the pot.β
βitβs so boring to see you tired all the time.β
βiβm scared of the dark.β
βthese hands are growing cold.β
βi know your fingernails are the colour of rust.β
βif i donβt make it back from where iβve gone, just know i loved you all along.β
βyouβre the one who asked me if iβm feeling ok.β
βhoney iβm no man, iβm whatβs left when children go to war.β
βback then i wasnβt hopeful.β
βjust watch me burn.β
βiβll make a hundred paper planes to decorate our tiny room.β
βwhy wonβt you let me follow in your footsteps as you trek into that underground world?β
