i've got this fear of life to come
and all the things i haven't done
and it keeps me alone
when i'm stumbling home
and i drank too much
thinking about what i've called love
and i'm trying to learn
but i'm still not good with words
did i cause your collapse?
it happened so fast
when i looked back
leave
a light on outside
i promise
i just need time
it'll be alright
come sunlight
caught in the dim light
their eyes met mine
and i tried to hide
that i was drunk
that i'd been smoking far too much
despite my aching lungs
despite the last three months
i hate to look weak
but old friends have a way of seeing
where you really are
and lies only go so far
and i hate to look weak
but we share this
understanding
so i heard them all confess
that they wished they could have spent
more time with you
had they known
how much time was left
and it's that fear of life to come
and all the things i haven't done
that keeps me alone
when i'm stumbling home
and i drank too much
i've thought about what i call love
and it's those eyes
and it's the light
left on outside
