Merle

Don't you leave me hanging 'round for long
Whisper secrets that I need to know
No rest for your wicked mind that's pounding out your head
Make it seem real, real enough for me
Sing about love, what makes you happy
We can hum to the sound of my own sadness for tonight

You make it seem real enough, real enough for me
You make it seem real enough, real enough for me

Don't you leave me hanging 'round for long
Spin me backwards, look what I've missed out on
No room to ignore yourself
Now you bloom into what you are

You make it seem real enough, real enough for me
Don't say a word, strum your chord, sing your melody
I pull the shades, look outside, nothing I wanna see
Don't say a word, close your eyes, sing your melody

Don't you leave me hanging 'round for long
Don't you leave me hanging 'round for long
Don't you leave me hanging 'round for long
Don't you leave me hanging 'round for long
For long, for long, for long

Pictures of you, innocent and free
A couple things that you will never be
I play to the sound of my own sadness for weeks on end

I look and I see your scars and I don't think you're wrong
You make it seem real enough, but it doesn't last for long
For long, for long, for long

(For long) So don't you put me in the lion's den
If you don't want to fuck me up (For long)
Don't throw me to the ground
When I don't need picking up (For long)
Yeah, I'll be everywhere at once
For whatever you want (For long)
I'll take you to the mountain top
So you can see how far I've come
