Shadows And City Lights - Deas Vail

Downwards we operate

And I go all to pieces

For just once you imitate someone who is loving

And I am scared of you

Always you come around

Saying that you’re sorry

Take away this awful sound

That I cannot belong to

So now I’m through with you

And we owe this to ourselves

To say what we really mean

Honestly, I can’t see how this could end happily

I can run to no one else

And I can’t stand the thought of this

The ground beneath me breaking

And I’m falling helpless

Touching to make it work

When we know this is useless

We’re holding back for fear of hurt

We were making no sense

Cause I’m no good for you

All we need are wounds we can mend

For the chance that we can pretend again

All you need is to see an end

To tell me we can make the world turn again

And we owe this to ourselves

To say what we really mean

Honestly, I can’t see how this could end happily

I can run to no one else

And I can’t stand the thought of this

The ground beneath me breaking

And I’m falling helpless
