RESIDUE from GORE by CowardlyCrow

it seems like it's come to this
embarrassment and dependence
and through my yearning tears
there is a fear in there

sounds like i'm miserable
but really i'm having the best time in the world
hiding what is terrible
and becoming finally reliable

i really didn't want it to come to this
but if you really must insist
i guess i'll give in
for my insanity would need a rest


for one day i'll pretend
for you, for you, for you, for you
i'll give you all the love i saved for this
i'll give you all the love i saved for this

I promise you i’ll be just fine
And before you tuck yourself in for the night
Look out into the dark
Exploding into sparks

My brow furrows for the last time
Seeing you, i finally realized
That there is so much more to this
If i kept going now then i wouldn’t win

so it seems it's comes to this
recognizing your cowardice
realizing you're hiding from me
because our connection left you fuming inside

i hope you finally realize
that you can't save me from my own life
you only made my illness worsen
so you need to fix yours before you fix mine


and i can't keep pretending i'm healing fine
because you may stick with me for the rest of my life
i think i was too soft on you
because my heart would do anything for the rest of time


so mess me up for the last time
hate me and never realize
how blind you are to yourself
you're blind to yourself
