Lyrics:

Dry your eyes will you
Just try and see like I do
Hardened feelings, lost sleep
We share thoughts, not dreams

Still on your side
Because I know you’re not unkind
But colors they bleed
As all thoughts recede

Forgiveness gets the last line
If I don’t trust in you to do what’s right
Who will be there when you change your mind again?
Resentments ride high
And now emotions they don’t grow
It’s all tragedy but it’s what you love, I know

You love a tragedy, the misery
Romanticized denials of your bored reality
So I sit hopelessly, indebted to please
If it keeps you wanting more

Drop the act and come to
How could I make it easier for you?
I’m your rock, I’ll play pretend
To tie up all the loose ends

Still on your side
And I give my best advice
But the words won’t treat
A bad dream if you can’t sleep

Forgiveness gets the last line
If I don’t trust in you to do what’s right
Who will be here when you change your mind again?

Tragedy, it’s mastery
Romanticized denials
Of your bored reality
So I’ll sit hopelessly, indebted to please
If it keeps you wanting more
I’m scared I’ve all but gone

I wanted you to be a friend
But I loved you to my wits’ end
And forgiveness gets the best of me

Forgiveness gets the last line
If I don’t trust in you to do what’s right

Tragedy, it’s mastery
Romanticise denial you just reject reality
I see you hopelessly, indebted to please
But it keeps you wanting more
I’m scared I’ve nothing else in store
