Gabriel

(album: Willowbank - 2017)

It's a lie to protect my shame
Stop the noise, just to turn me up again
What's the point? When you see yourself
Do you know that you're with someone else?

I'm a ghost, an empty shell
Of a woman who was seeing Gabriel
Now my hands are just skin and bones
They're no good for bringing you in close

I wanna leave in the blink of an eye
I wanna know that I'm there by your side
I wanna hold every word that you said
I wanna kiss you before you are dead

Eventually you could see
You got the best of me
And I've become somebody new
It's hard for me to pretend
It's easier in the end
Deep down I'm still bruised

I'm alright, feeling five by five
You know that I'm a sucker for weaker guys
Take the bet, such a dirty cheat
Can't she tell you're lying next to me?

You're a weight holding us from hell
Or a time of juxtaposing Gabriel
Now my arms are just skin and bones
They're no good for bringing you in close

I wanna leave in the blink of an eye
I wanna know that I'm there by your side
I wanna hold every word that you say
I wanna make up for being away

Eventually you could see
You got the best of me
And I've become somebody new
It's hard for me to pretend
It's easier in the end
Deep down I'm still bruised
