Frame for One

Why should I believe you would try

When I seen you long let go of your own life

Pissing your time away on the phone

Like it's the stage for every side you've never shown

And not the frame for one who never would try

Ain't no lie I've been running away

From every long idea of life and love for the way

That so much pain always follows behind

Sitting alone out there

I had been doing just fine

Guess I still believe in love

Way I feel broken in the sights of her crooked smile

And if I'd been more of feather than of bone

When she had shed all of her light on me alone

I wouldn't have been so long thawing out

Come my leave, I'd be rolling in a wave

Always far out of reason

But I had one all the same

Sooner or later, it all came following behind

And then alone out there

I was just doing time

In the twilight

With all my mending bones

Still a hairline crack in each one, give it time

But I was well tired of waiting

When I leapt off my ship into the tide

Sh*t

Now the past lies there on an ocean

To float on and die alone

And the wind blows it far out of mind

With the waves all bowing over

In a tunnel of time and its ghosts

Maybe it will live on in my mind

Come my way, I'd been following a lie

Or been a long time leading it

It's foggy in my mind

So much pain, I'd been blurring the lines

Under a mountain of weight

In the calm of denial

Couldn't stand it

Seeing you there alone

Through a crowd of laughing people

Sincere as a child

Wish I knew how to hold on to what it's worth
