lyrics

sitting with the sting of separation
forgotten how to be on my own
all the unused muscles i now need
to hold myself together
i was a self-sufficient being
a sorrowful mercurial thing
till your hands found my strings
and you taught me how to fall open
frightened but still i surrendered
ive got to be an island
cant open up like this again
cause i gave it all away
this unrelenting silence
it has never felt so strange
still missing our golden days
never wanted to play the game
but i really thought i would win this time
thought id walk away all flush-faced and vindicated
now im headed into the night with my dunce cap
and a pocketful of dreams given up on
gonna make some bad decisions
dont call me till the morning
how am i supposed
to recover what ive given
words hang in my throat
unsaid because i learned you i listened
when is it too late
to turn back to myself
i am now losing faith
in the concept of somebody else
