We have different thoughts when we lay awake at night,
You're worried about more alcohol,
I'm just trying to make you feel alright.
I have been trying to cradle your soul,
But it doesn't help it all,
Build you up to be bigger than me,
And you still feel small.
I have been waiting on nothing so it never arrives,
Falling asleep to neon lights through the curtains,
With tears in my eyes.
You said it yourself,
Timing is everything,
It's not just fate,
I'm always early and you're always late.
****
And you said it would be different,
That you were someone I could adore,
But it's all the same,
I give it all to you and end up torn.
What a shame.
What a shame.
Yeah, you were in the wrong
But I took the blame.
