Please forgive me
These nights, my head is full of stars
Of constellations retreating
Away from where we are
And I fear I’ll soon be wishing on an empty sky
I’ve got this anguish I know
Will never be satisfied
It’s always hungry, so I feed it
And have the nerve to wonder why
It keeps growing and throwing tantrums
Just like a child
And all I need
Is for you to be kind
But it seems
It’s rarely worth your time
I tried to mend these broken fences
You claimed I’d built a wall
That I’d obstructed all your exits
As if my aim all along
Was to keep you somewhere
You no longer wished to be
And all I need
Is for you to be kind
But it seems
It’s rarely worth your time
All I need
Is for you to be kind
But it seems
It’s rarely worth your time
It’s rarely worth your time
It’s rarely worth your time
