It’s Getting Dark

And so I’m leaving here today
No, I’m not sure just where I’m going
Burn out and watch it fade away
I miss the comfort of no knowing
Like running standing in one place
A paper crown made for a child king
The truth can slap you in the face
The slip off like a loose wedding ring

When I told, told, told you a lie
I just wanted to be where you are
And you told, told me if I try, try, try
You could help me see in the dark.
It’s getting dark

And so I’m giving up this fight
This mountain I could not stop climbing
You are an echo in the night
A cloud without a silver lining
Please tell my papa that I tried

And tell my darling that I love her
But something deep inside me died
And follows hovering a above her
When I sold, sold, sold you a lie
I just wanted to be where you are
And you told, told me if I try, try, try
You could help me see in the dark.
It’s getting dark
