Coward

I’m sorry for the wait
But I’ve been thinking this through all day
There’s someone in my place
Well I can’t cope
I’m wallowing in disgrace
But still I’m betting that I won’t change
You’re miles ahead of me to better things
But I’ll stay the same

Stuck in the middle
I’m in the same place that I was before I met you
Nothing but standing water
The bug bites sting and I regret everything

I regret everything

I know I’ve made mistakes
I know the blood in my veins runs cold
I haven’t yet grown up
But I’ve grown old

You made a career
While I’m still doing the same damn things I did when I was 18
And it’s taking a toll on my body
Like I’m tearing at the seams

I regret everything

My bed is made and empty
There’s nobody in there with me
My head is big swimming as I lie forever sleeping
I haven’t even been awake in years
