The Slow Decline

Soon to be broken again.
Punished for the greatest of sins
I held on too long
Hoped you’d never end your song

Never really felt whole
When I was stuck alone
You dared write me a soul
Made me hope then left me alone

Will you miss me when you’ve
Had your time to think?
Alone without me

Whenever there’s a problem you take all the blame
Its all your fault it went wrong!
Don’t really see it that way
I need to say I’m sorry

These years of happiness passing by
The jobs not getting done
A van, a man, pair of skilled hands
That’s all I feel like now

Hi love
I take it you need a ride
