Bait

(album: Halo Of Hurt - 2020)

Patiently waiting, you're betting on me
While I'm baiting you carefully for company
See, the heart, it gets lonely, it needs something sweet
Like a night full of laughter that's lacking in sleep

Cold to the core, I am nothing you need
I will dampen that light you so vibrantly beam
I am more of a burden than you'd like to believe
If you give it some time, you will see what I mean

All of your plans, they are all up to chance
And you hope and you pray that I make the most sense
You're beginning to wonder with these lines in the sand
It just might be a lifetime before I let you in

Fooled you for a moment there, I guess
Made you think that I was someone else
I made you feel like I was worth the risk
And you'll hang on to that one for good

So you took the chance
Now it don't make sense
Swift are the days
That slip through your hands
And take to the wind
'Cause I won't be letting you in

Yeah it might be a lifetime, a lifetime, yeah
You're searching for something you're not gonna find

Yeah it might be a lifetime, a lifetime, yeah
You're searching for something you're not gonna find
