You Must

(album: The Longest Lonesome - 2019)

I wish I never knew, perception subdued
I slip away, I disappear and blame it on you
I take the fall but you, attention I outgrew
You make it worse and say it's something I never do

All you are is a spark when the flame burns brighter
If you loved it so much then why'd you let it go?

Sympathy should be earned not expected
Placing the blame when your outlooks infected

I'm wide awake now, a dreadful ache
Has its roots in my mind by your design
I'm picking up on the signs, I'll slip away
If it comes down to this I'll never let it go

Sympathy should be earned not expected
Placing the blame when your outlooks infected
You choose how to hold yourself
While everyone you love goes on a shelf
Can't find the same page
Never been a man of many words

Come together and watch it all burn
Come together and watch it all burn
Come together and watch it all burn

Come together and watch it all burn
Come together and watch it all burn
Come together and watch it all burn
Come together and watch it all burn

Sympathy should be earned not expected
Placing the blame when your outlooks infected
You choose how to hold yourself
While everyone you love goes on a shelf
Can't find the same page
Never been a man of many words
