Goodnight

I don't wanna go down waiting on a 12th round
Everyone around here's saying it's a ghost town
Diamond in the rough never was enough to deserve your love
Wishing days were gold, instead I'm feeling old and
Lying to myself about the things I hold
Inside my head at night, lie awake with fright, I don't think I'm right

And it's nice to see you but I have to leave
I don't wanna keep you up until we see sunlight
I just came to say goodnight

I don't think I'm broken, I just keep on hoping
Things are gonna change when I put it in the open
Lay it in the dirt praying it's inert so I don't get hurt
Wishing I was captain, feeling like I'm strapped
Into a rollercoaster with my feelings that are wrapped
Inside a work of art, burying my heart, looking for the start

And it's nice to see you but I have to leave
I don't wanna keep you up until we see sunlight
I just came to say goodnight

Going through the motions sipping on potions
Every day feeling like the middle of an ocean
Dancing in the dark, stripping off the bark, building you an ark
Running round in circles 'til my face is purple
Trying to convince myself it isn't worth the
Siren or a knife squeezing out the life fill my head with strife

And it's nice to see you but I have to leave
I don't wanna keep you up until we see sunlight
I just came to say goodnight

Is the story ending, trees in wind are bending
Leaves are falling off it's like a message they are sending
Took me by surprise, peeling back the lies, there goes my disguise
Callous on my fingers though it never lingers
Playing my guitar is just a reason not to think her
Heart was torn in two, wish I thought of you, guess it's nothing new

And it's nice to see you but I have to leave
I don't wanna keep you up until we see sunlight
I just came to say goodnight
