absinthe
Don't tell me I can—
I can't

I'm tired and afraid
I tiptoe

Please leave me alone
But don't go

I'm tired and disturbed
It's wonderful

All over the place
And nowhere at all

I don't want to heal
It burdens my soul

And I cannot cry because they'd see my swollen eyes
They'd taste the salt in the air and hear my sobs through the night
So I'll wait for someone to ask if I'm alright
Want to tell the truth so bad but you taught so good to lie

It used to be your pleasure I soaked up with the tissues
Now they can't seem to get enough of my tears
Sometimes I let them be when I lay down to sleep
They roll down my face as if in a race and I'll bet on which one first reaches my ears
It's the only thing I haven't been wrong about in years

They say sorry needs change
maybe that´s why you never apologize
Too **** proud to admit it so you blame it on my wicked mind
