Several nights of no sleep
Starting to catch up to me
I'm sick of feeling so cheap
I think there's too much pressure on everything
I feel the world will wait til I'm happy to take my life
But I won't let fear hold me here
I won't let all these strange nights pass me
Oh my darling won't you hear me now?
I gave up, somehow thought this would make you proud
Oh my darling won't you tell me how
But you won't come around, yeah it's a long way down
A vigilant sense of yearning
Like a pain that tends to disagree
But it never stops the learning
I'm sure I've lost more sense than dignity
I've watched the world weigh on her shoulders
I've tended wounds that made me hold her
Thoughts will keep us up all night
We'll wait for the dawn to set this right
Oh my darling won't you hear me now?
I gave up, somehow thought this would make you proud
Oh my darling won't you tell me how
But you won't come around, yeah it's a long way down
There's no sense of guiding myself towards the light
When there's no sense of harming myself here tonight
And we lost what we had when we lied out of spite
Then we found ourselves cave in, in search of this flight
Oh my darling won't you hear me now?
I gave up, somehow thought this would make you proud
Oh my darling won't you tell me how
But you won't come around, yeah it's a long way down
Oh my darling it's a long way down
