Did you give up on you somewhere?
Decide it was the thing to do
Nobody seems to care
So it's only up to you
Just a tiny little night
Kill that tiny little light
The shadows are too small to see.

Hellos are the saddest goodbyes
When you use your heart for string
To tie him up so tight
Because you are letting go
You can't just let him go

Roll your eyes to sleep
It's not a lie between the sheets
Love is measured out
Why do you murder your doubts?
It's freedom that you seek
So you won't admit you're weak

A single little night burns
Hard against the curtains
Of your smoke-damaged heart
You say you won't look back
But you've only got eyes
On the back of your head

I'm sorry if you hate me
For not letting you just sleep
