equal measures

it's too late at night to hold my sight

why can't i see that i am blind?

my patience is wearing thin

so i guess i'll have to take this on the chin

despite the words i said so long ago

i still cared

and i cared that i never got a piece of what we claimed

and i care that i always shouldered the blame

despite the words that i said so long ago

despite the words that i've learnt to know

and i've shown this to be

a bitter part of me

i'm a loss if i leave

and my friend is my foe

and how can i grow when i'm stuck here?

so i hide away and just let the days

begin to scare me into thinking that it'll haunt me 'til i can't rest

but i suppose the nights are worse

they've made me scared of sleeping

for someone who's supposed to care

you made it look so easy

i thought the problem was you can't see

you pulled me apart and you left me to bleed

but now i know that you were far from blind

you saw it all the time

you watched and you smiled

and i cared that i never got a piece of what we claimed

and i care that i always shouldered the blame

despite the words that i said so long ago

despite the words that i've learnt to know

and i've shown this to be

a bitter part of me

i'm a loss if i leave

and my friend is my foe

and how can i grow when i'm stuck here?

cause i'm still here

girl

i'm talking to you

i'm still here

equal measures aside

don't trip with my mind

i'm leaving here
