lyrics

I'm feeling lonely, you said
Surrounded by people, you put on your shoes and fled
I can still smell the cigarettes
Red wine on your lips and breath
It doesn't mean anything to anyone but me, you said

You're feeling guilty after all
Cause you know I told people that they got you all wrong
Pull up your socks, kick me in the teeth
I'll grin and bear it
I'm prettier when I bleed, you told me

Such a shame that it had to turn out this way
Confused intuition for anxiety
I missed the train again today
So I walked home in a mood
Thinking 'bout those shitty things you do
But I left the light on, just for you
Still leave the light on

I'm playing pretend again
That I am so worthy of everything I get
Yeah, I'm so deserving
My talents not borrowed
You asked to meet me for an espresso
I ride my bike 'cause the traffic goes real slow
You didn't say much, you didn't need to though

Such a shame that it had to turn out this way
Confused innocence for naivety
I missed the train again today
So i walked home in a mood
Thinking 'bout those shitty things you do
But I left the light on, just for you
Still leave the light on, just for you

I left the light on,
Still leave the light on
Just for you,
Just for you
