Frame for One

Why should I believe You would try When I seen you Long let go of your own life Pissing your time away on the phone Like it's the stage for every side You've never shown And not the frame for one Who never would try Ain't no lie I've been running away From every long idea of life and love For the way that so much pain Always follows behind Sitting alone out there I had been doing just fine Guess I still believe in love Way I feel broken In the sights of her crooked smile And if I'd been more of feather Than of bone When she had shed All of her light on me alone I wouldn't have been So long thawing out Come my leave I'd be rolling in a wave Always far out of reason But I had one all the same Sooner or later It all came following behind And then alone out there I was just doing time In the twilight With all my mending bones Still a hairline crack In each one, give it time But I was well tired of waiting When I leapt off my ship Into the tide Shit Now the past lies there On an ocean To float on and die alone And the wind blows it Far out of mind With the waves all bowing over In a tunnel of time and its ghosts Maybe it will live on in my mind Come my way I'd been following a lie Or been a long time leading it It's foggy in my mind So much pain I'd been blurring the lines Under a mountain of weight In the calm of denial Couldn't stand it Seeing you there alone Through a crowd Of laughing people Sincere as a child Wish I knew how to hold on To what it's worth
