Dying Lately

(album: Dying Lately - 2021)

You've got eyes like the sun
And they've been burning me up
I feel the dread, no way around it
This has gone long enough
So bring me down again just like you do when things get shaky
I'm sorry for the mood, but I've been dying lately
Cold shoulders and a lack of closure
My patience turned to paper, it's been awfully thin
I hate the way your halo shines so softly
It's hard to see the way with all the fog we're in

So tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
I'll pull you close and overdose
I'll love you 'til I'm comatose
Together we'll fade like the light that we once were

And darling you're the reason why I am who I am
This you and I was a surprise, it wasn't part of the plan
I'll bring you down again just like I do when things get shaky
I'm sorry for the mood, but I've been dying lately
You've probably never felt a heart so frozen
It never used to be this way 'til you came along
I like the way you hate the way you love me
It started off as friends and everything went wrong

Tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
I'll pull you close and overdose
I'll love you 'til I'm comatose
Together we'll fade like the light that we once were
And tell me if you really care or if you're only standing there
'Cause half of you is too scared to leave (Too scared to leave)
And maybe we could talk it out, but all you do is shut your mouth
When I need your voice in my ears, there's no love here (No love here)
There's no love here

Yeah, I think we crossed the line
Probably went overtime
I'll try to say it's fine
I do this every time
Now I can't hear myself
Think when we're in the hell
We put each other through
I can't get over you
Now what's the point of undressing
If we lay awake stressing
I can feel you inside my soul (my soul)
You lay your head on my chest
But you know we're such a wreck we're spinning out of control

Tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
I'll pull you close and overdose
I'll love you 'til I'm comatose
Together we'll fade like the light that we once were
And tell me if you really care or if you're only standing there
Cause half of you is too scared to leave (Too scared to leave)
And maybe we could talk it out, but all you do is shut your mouth
When I need your voice in my ears, there's no love here (No love here)

No love, no love
No love, no love, no love
You're stuck
In my head
You're my favorite shade of red
No love, no love
No love, no love, no love
You're stuck
In my head
You're my favorite shade

Tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
I'll pull you close and overdose
I'll love you 'til I'm comatose
Together we'll fade like the light that we once were
And tell me if you really care or if you're only standing there
Cause half of you is too scared to leave
And maybe we could talk it out, but all you do is shut your mouth
When I need your voice in my ears, there's no love here
