Merle

(album: Amber Park - 2020)

Don't you leave me hanging around for long
Whisper secrets that I need to know
No rest for your wicked mind that's pounding out your head

Make it seem real, real enough for me
Sing about love and what makes you happy
We can hum to the sound of my own sadness for tonight

You make it seem real enough, real enough for me
You make it seem real enough, real enough for me

Don't you leave me hanging around for long
Spin me backwards, look what I've missed out on
No room to ignore yourself
Now you bloom into what you are

You make it seem real enough, real enough for me
Don't say a word, strum your chord, sing your melody
I pull the shades, look outside, nothing I want to see
Don't say a word, close your eyes, sing your melody

Don't you leave me hanging around for long
Don't you leave me hanging around for long
Don't you leave me hanging around for long
Don't you leave me hanging around for long...

Pictures of you, innocent and free
A couple things that you will never be
I play to the sound of my own sadness for weeks on end

I look and I see your scars
And I don't think you're wrong
You make it seem real enough
But it doesn't last for long...

So don't you put me in the lions den if you don't want to fuck me up
Don't throw me to the ground when I don't need picking up
I'll be everywhere at once, for whatever you want
I'll take you to the mountain top, so you see how far I've come
