Goldfish from Bloom by Raynes

I climbed out of my own head
I’d gone stone-blind living in the dark so long
I bought a bouquet of twelve red roses
Got to the door, and you were gone

Some days, when I fall asleep alone
I’ll wake to you lying at my side
Your hair in a mess, all rosy-cheeked
And swearing that you’d been there all night

Maybe if I saw what you see
We wouldn’t be so lonely
And clearly I don’t know what you need
But I know you don’t need me

I guess I can see how you’d go crazy
Desperate and restless, baked and bored
And scared that you’ll end up juggling babies
Barefooted on the kitchen floor

I can try to choke down the jealousy
(I can try to choke it all down)
‘Cause the less I know
The less I have to forgive you for
So I’d rather you don’t tell me anything
(I can stay in the dark)
If there’s somebody who gives you something
That I can’t give you anymore

And I should have known
And I should have known

Ages ago, my goldfish started
Fading inside its small glass bowl
I cried when it died; I should have realized
That it had no room to grow

I can try to choke down the jealousy
‘Cause the less I know
The less I have to forgive you for
So I’d rather you don’t tell me anything
If there’s somebody who gives you something
That I can’t give you anymore

It’s a beautiful home
Oh, didn’t you want a beautiful home?

Maybe if I saw what you see
We wouldn’t be so lonely
And clearly I don’t know what you need
But I know you don’t need me

And you float to the surface
And sink in despair
And you’re making me nervous
You’re gasping for air
Oh, and I should have known

And you float to the surface
And sink in despair
And you’re making me nervous
You’re gasping for air
Oh, and I should have known

And I should have known
Oh, I should have known
