D Day
Can’t promise me the stars and moon
Then look the other way
I thought we aired the truth that night
So why are you pulling away
I thought we had plans
That we’d chance our happiness combine
You said to take a stand then
You were supposed to be mine
I’m not good at games like you
So please don’t lower my walls
Walk into my heart
And stage for me to lose
I caught a bad indulgence
A smile and open mind
It doesn’t help that you seem to know me
It just further makes me blind
I’m stumbling trying to find a clue
Can’t seem to find my way
I keep hoping for a new beginning
One that means you stay
I’ve ripped off all my skin
Callused hands from digging graves
Going to bury the history
Take a chance on this big wave
I warned you I’d make you fall
But I never thought you would
I guess secretly I hoped
Then I realized that you could
Let’s settle the score
You’re miles ahead
Cause I owe you one or more
Now I’m severely in your debt
