Tell Me Something Good - Northbound

I am empty

I am speechless

I am the love that you never had

I’m an ember in a wildfire

And I’m bright inside your head

I’m your safety

But I’m lonely

I am the words you never speak

I am dirty and unworthy

And I want you to kill me

So just tell me something good

Please tell me anything at all

'Cause I don’t want to be the one who’s weak anymore

And I don’t want to be another part of every day you can’t handle

And I don’t want want to be another sob story

I just wanted to move on

Can we move on?

Can we move on?

And I don’t want to be lost

But I don’t want to be found

I’ll keep my heart in the drawer and my clothes on your floor

Just to remind you I’m back in town

Whoa, I’m losing my brain

I think I found my calling on a northbound train

How could I be someone you want to look after?

Instead I’m just the person who can love the laughter

All this time against the grit has really

Made me just want to quit

'Cause I guess I’m not the person you want to love afterall

So just tell me something good

Please tell me anything at all

Now I am totally lost

And you don’t want me around

I’ll keep my head pointed down in a permanent frown

Until the next time that I leave town
