Verse:
Do I really have to wait
For the stars to make a showing?
Cuz by the time they reappear
You’ll have already been going

And by the time I recognize
The shadows fleeting from across your cheek
I’ll have already forgotten
That I’m tired and I’m weak

Chorus:
And by the time you realize
Just how much I cared
I’ll be out and on my own
Feeling self reliantly impaired

And if I have to watch your back
Fleeing from me one last agonizing time
I might die
So don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine

Verse:
If everything turns gray
I promise that I’ll still be here
Cuz when the world walked away
I was the rag you used to wipe your tears

And I fainted in my thinking
I passed out in my dreams
Cuz you never really left me
At least that’s how it seems

Chorus

Verse:
When lies turn to truth
And when black turns to light
I’ll be there to bring you back
And take you home tonight

But all the wheels are flat
And you’re all out of gas
So you won’t be the first to leave
Looking for another piece of

Assuming they’ll still want you
After what you did to me
Just let me down easy
Easy as can be

Chorus
