Some Tragedy

I must’ve seemed to you a shipwreck
I looked at you, I saw an island
So I was swept ashore to lie forevermore
Or at least for the evening

So we went to your apartment
We shared a drink out in the garden
You thought I must’ve pulled
This kind of shit with any willing fool
I shrugged and asked if that’s a problem
So we loved, if for an instant
And for an instant I forgot who I was
So for the night, I was all yours
And I’m sure it was fleeting, and I’m sure I’ve been misleading
We were just two people in need, it doesn’t have to be
Some fucked up tragedy

I hope I didn’t seem too vulgar
When I asked to come over
It’s just these last few weeks
Well, they’ve been hard on me
See, I got burned and I can’t seem to recover
And so we loved or so it seemed
And as I slept, I dreamt of Romeo and Juliet
But Romeo was just playing dead
I’m sure it's just a dream
And I’m sure it holds no meaning
But on this sober, hungover morning
Why's it always gotta be such a fucked up tragedy?

I tried to tell you but I couldn’t
I wanted to warn you but I need you so bad
I mean, right now, you're all I have
