right in the town square! lyrics

Almost been a year since our rebirth
Short lived renaissance, I think we both knew it would never work
I made empty promises
Made you cry after a good night
I was trying on your strategy and I fear it almost fit me just right

I never wanted to destroy you
But I find myself in your shoes
And you’ve only got one pair
Sometimes in the mirror I can see you
Angel, I wish I could reach through
To bear my fist, to braid your hair

I knew that I needed to lose you
Had to outrun you in the dark
But I got scared

I followed the scent
Of a life free of your darkness
And I found it

Somеtimes I shut my eyes rеal tight
And I try to find your body in the tar pit
And then I try to fly away
And my feathers stick to shame
And I’m embarrassed
So I clip my wings
Walk on my own two feet
Open my eyes to the life that I’ve built in your absence
And I miss you half to death
But the other fifty percent is begging not to sleep again
