Introvert - Love, My Love, You've Never Let Me Down lyrics

rate me

The skeletons in my closet remind me of home

Lately I've been dancing to their breaking bones when I'm alone

Now I'm just waiting for their screams to quiet down

These days not even ghosts will move into this town.

The only place to escape is the local bar

With the stench of dying men and the taste of cigars

I sit alone in the back, eyes on the sunset,

Windows clouded with breath, pointing towards the West.

Bartender walks over, hands wrapped around a glass

Filled with ice cubes and a few shots of Jack

He puts it to my face with a look full of hope

Says a soft prayer and finishes it in one gulp.

He says, "Learning to love is a curious endeavor

I remember the first time, it's in my heart forever.

I'd give my wife my life, but she knows well as I

No woman can love you like a starry night sky"

When I woke up it looked like God was at my window

I peaked my head out and kissed the first cloud that I saw.

There are sparrows that sit on my sill

And sing until the night stands perfectly still

Enough to know that the ripples weren't real

Still enough to shatter the stars splattered and conceal

Behind a gray mask of clouds harder than steel

And when it finally comes off, it comes to be revealed

There's an ocean up there we haven't learned to swim

Head's under the water, jumped right into the deep end.

If you let me sink my heart would've been contents

You should've let me drown but you saved me the embarrassment.

I was a dead man; you were an angel

Ever since I've looked at this through slightly different angles

It should be easy but my mind's been torn

Should I thank you or wish that you'd never been born?

I was a dead man, I was a dead man. I was...

I was a dead man, I was a dead man. I was...
