Walls

Do you remember nights out on the coast? Who drank the most?
You lost your footing on the track, left grass stains down your back
I was so far gone I couldn’t see, I fell and grazed my knee and as the morning took my memory you dragged me to the beach and I cried, I laughed so much I cried
I remember how you pulled up close and asked me to sing, I recall the scent of lavender was laced upon your skin. In the haze of neon lights, as I kissed you that night, I thought that I saw promise in your eyes, I thought I knew you, well, I was lying to myself

No I never asked you to stay and it broke my heart that we left that way, I’m not the only one to blame cos’ you never came around, no, you never showed fight to pick those pieces from the ground, you never made a sound and after all these years, those walls are coming down

I returned to dragons cove, a place I called my home. You’d hide behind your paranoia, ember, fire and smoke. There was a darkness inside, conspiracy and lies, and in the heat of the moment you wished away my life and I died, at least, a part of me died

No you never asked me to stay and it broke my heart that we left that way, you’re not the only one to blame cos’ I never came around, no, I never showed fight to pick those pieces from the ground, I never made a sound and after all these years, those walls are coming down

I’m so sorry for those words, I never meant to hurt you but you hurt me too
Though we never meant to fight, it doesn’t make it right, but, I guess that’s just life
