London 03:19
What a bitter end for the trumpet call to cue You're counting the days shot down by the cherub's bow As a heroine was getting close And this photograph is proof of the times spent Before you let me down And as days go by, I'm not growing younger I don't want you to go to London Because I'm not going with you And it's been said before That as I sketch, this paintbrush does you no justice And this photograph is proof of us lying asleep, yet wide awake But she knows

You say words can only complicate I tried harder than you ever could You say what really matters anyway is I heard something deafening You couldn't even help yourself I can't imagine being someone else But you try, and not everyone's that cunning Just try to dig yourself out of this mess And you say you're all so different But it's got nothing left to do with it I knew more or less that this would be the end You say words can only complicate I tried harder than you ever could You say what really matters anyway is These old rhymes, placed in their complex new directions They're only getting more cliche, more each day

I've been through the high and driving rain Just to get myself a little closer To assert what's mine, but in juxtaposition I felt so honest and cruelly so But it's hard to get by on broken lungs So tell me if you could is this something you would love Every night when you're think about this moment So tell me baby is there something more than this basement room I'll tell you if you left all the things that I would do I'm tearing out my hair so I could write So tell me baby And I say you try a bit too much, and I say don't underestimate me I've been through this unsuspecting war and found myself just a little colder than I could ever remember, and I said I cant hate this song half as much as I could hate you Tell me now, is this all you have to give

If it's in your capacity, forgive me Cause maybe I'll forget I think you're longing for your family And that might be for the best and well It's not the way that you'd keep it all in your head Cause you're not convincing I realize that at this point the love we bear is an awful weight We stayed and danced by the moonlight To a song on the jukebox, that I hoped that you would like and it's like I'm leaving everything right here in Atlanta I'll stay right here in bed with you if only time would let us And I tried to give you all the best of me I was an awkward little kid, who tried to hard to give you everything And I'd fight off every doubt in the back of your head, if you would let me There's some things I can't control, though I wish it realistically And I told you not to come with me You're not my failure's responsibility And I can't make an honest girl of you If you're out there living my dreams And I can't take you on that stage with me So I won't blame you if at any point you decide It might be best to leave And I know you weren't listening And it's hard To tell you I was wrong after everything And I know you won't forgive me You said it best, you said it And I'll pray, that I make up for all of these mistake It's an awful mess that I've made And I'll take that to my grave
