NAME ONE THING YOU TRIED

Black smoky water
Flows down my soul
You said you loved me
And now you just don’t know
Please don’t hesitate
If you’re going out the door
Don’t remind me I lost you
By staying anymore

Don’t be a beacon 
In my night
I’m not going to head
For a dimming light
You’ve sent me adrift
Into the storm
And say you never ever meant me any harm
I see now even you
Believe these lies
Name one thing
You’ve tried
Name one thing
You’ve tried
To save us
From you

Your tears are selfish
You’re not crying for me
This idea of leaving
Came to you way to damn easy
You didn’t mean to hurt me
Forgive if I disagree
I’m just a process
On your way to being free
