Don't Show Your Weakness

(album: Every Shade Of Blue - 2022)

It's the feeling when you first know
That you're older and the years show
I know everyone said to put it to bed
Baby, just pack up and head home
But it's too hard, and you don't wanna let go

All the waiting
Are we failing still?
We swore that we'd find gold in these damn hills

Don't show your weakness
I'm beginning to see it
Time for the reset
Don't you know that you need it?

It will hit you when you least expect it
And your words will fail you
But our time here is just too fragile to touch
So do what you must to protect it
But it's always the hardest lesson

And on the way down
Before you drift asleep
Know that we both wanted the same thing

Don't show your weakness
I'm beginning to see it
Time for the reset
Don't you know that you need it?
Long nights sleepless
I can tell that you feel it
Jump off the deep end
Love, I know you can beat it

Well, the lights went black in the Adirondacks
We were thumbing our way up the road
There were lightning bugs in the graveyard
Dancing on top of the old headstones
And we lost ourselves in the magic there
In the moment that we had alone
And we knew it without saying nothing
We were just two lost souls trying to puzzle our way back home

Don't show your weakness
I'm beginning to see it
Time for the reset
Don't you know that you need it?
Long nights sleepless
I can tell that you feel it
Jump off the deep end
Love, I know you can beat it

Well, the lights went black
Well, the lights went black
