lyrics

I saw the panic that made your heart race.
I watched all of the colour fall from you face.
You told me that loneliness is just a state.
You told me that loneliness will go away.
So baby sleep easy for me, for just tonight.

All of a sudden my energy bleeds
on to all of my fingers like the ink from a cheap magazine.
My hands are so dirty, and they won't wash clean
of all of these empty people that I have been.
So baby sleep easy for me, so I can do the same.

Baby I'm sorry, but I can't change the way
that I wake up feeling every single day.
Well maybe tomorrow, when I'm OK,
and everything is perfect, in every single way.
We could be happy if I could change
but I don't think that I'm able, at least not today.
So baby sleep easy.

My heart is a postcard that couldn't send
so I stuffed it inside of my pocket instead.
Now it's burning and it won't last long
So I hope you find it before it's gone.
Baby believe me, this time.

Baby I'm sorry, but I'm so damn afraid
that after I've left I'll wish that I had stayed.
And you won't be with me, you'll be so far away
and you won't come home for 300 days.
My heart is a postcard that I don't want to send.
I'd rather just give it to you instead.
Baby believe me, this time.
