These Little Lights - Johnny 'n June

Self pity paradoxically both smothers and sustains in me
The feeling that I'll never be honest, love, and kind
Maybe you just need a hand to prove that you're a common man
A witness in a broken land that wants to shape your mind
It makes me feel ashamed
Maybe I'll shift the blame
Maybe I'll change my name
You sabotaged your mental health and feel best when you hate yourself
But I still feel like I could help if you'd just share the load
Well I can't walk you down the aisle and step around my growing pile
Of all the hate that built up while I thought I'd let it go
I guess I failed the test
Maybe that's for the best
Maybe now you can rest
With both of us I fail to see how me and you can change to we
Cause I can't even stand to be around you when I drink
Go on and drink until you drown just head out there and paint the town
Paint it red or blue or brown and ask me what I think
As if I even cared
Well I think you're just scared
Or maybe I'm prepared
If I board that train in Anniston I'm never coming back again
And good luck finding other men that care enough to leave
The second you get up to go I'll burn my dress as white as snow
And listen for the whistle's blow and never stop to breathe
When that train rolls by
You'll see my eyes are dry
There's no more cause to cry
