scarlett

i had a dream

i got everything i wanted

but when i wake up i see

you with me

and you say, “as long as i’m here, no one can hurt you”

because i`m in love, and it`s dark

and i`m thinking of things that tear us apart

and i`m cold, no air

and in the dark i can hear your heartbeat,

i try to find the sound,

but then it stopped, and i was in the darkness,

so darkness i became

—

now the day bleeds

into nightfall

and you're not here

to get me through it all

i let my guard down

and then you pulled the rug

paranoia, what did i do wrong this time? that's parents for you

very loyal?

shoulda had my back, but you put a knife into my hands before

what else should i carry for you?

i cared for you, but

feels like we're on the edge right now

i wish that i could say i’m proud

just wrap me in your arms, in your arms

i don't wanna be nowhere else

take me from the dark, from the dark

i ain't gonna make it myself

put your arms around me

let your love surround me

and i wanna kiss you, make you feel alright

i'm just so tired to share my nights

i wanna cry and i wanna love

but all my tears have been used up

i found love where it wasn't supposed to be

right in front of me

how could a heart like yours

ever love a heart like mine

how could i live before

how could i have been so blind

why is the bedroom so cold?

you've turned away on your side

is my timing that flawed?

our respect runs so dry

yet there's still this appeal

that we've kept through our lives

c'est la fête de trop

moi je l'ai faite, défaite et ça jusqu'au fiasco

c'est la fête de trop

coming like a hurricane

i take it in real slow

the world is spinning like a weathervane

fragile and composed

i am breaking down again
