Lie Baby, Cry Baby

Oh, I’m a failure and I tell you things that are not mine
But if I said it like I meant it then I’d waste your time.
See, I’m pathetic and I miss the things I can’t get back
And all my fears come rushing through me in a heart attack.
And there are times when I’m alone and I want everything
Like vacant souls and rusty holes like empty love can bring.
Now the streetlights carry on like we were meant to do,
But all that’s left here’s just a bad reminder without you.

I’m on
Your street
Where did
You go?

You’re on
My mind
You move
So slow

You’re eerie
How you get it right

I grew up
In the night
Without you.

This is a tribute to those echoes haunting all my dreams
Skying up into the stars where they can finally be
Forgotten others, dying mothers, brothers so long gone
It’s been so long since I could really see what’s going on
What’s supposed to be is never ever meant to go
So this is me, starting over, and I hope you’ll know.
All eyes on me, what can you see, all eyes on my enemy
I hate these boundaries; they’re gonna be the death of me.

You lie, baby
Cry, baby
Lie, baby
Cry, baby
I lie, baby
Cry, baby
Lie, baby
Cry, baby

I was born blue; I could see through all the lies they told
But I still let it slide since all I want is to grow old.
Every day you’d tell me secrets and I told you mine
And we would climb into the heavens and for once I was fine.
Where did you go? I’m only human and my heart defies
I need to see you but I’m scared I’ll only feed you lies.
See, I’m pathetic and I can’t let go of what I know
What do I know? Nothing much, such and such it goes.

Sometimes
I dream
Of you
And I

And when
I do,
I want
To die.

It’s eerie
What my head can make

And you
Know just how I break.
You’re on my street.
