Taylor Ashley - gaslight blues

You were a milestone turned a millstone
Wrapped around my neck.
Toss me in the sea
I've always wondered how much fun
Drowning could be.

We had an old fashioned love
Garnished with oranges and cherries
You leave your peels somewhere else now
And spit me out like you do all of those pits

I cut my teeth on you
Drowning now i gotta sink or swim
Apathetic, i'll pace the room
Tell myself that you left on a whim
Nothing really left to do
But feel the lack of my phantom limb

I feel like i borrowed you
Knew it was too good to be true
You were my library book overdue
My midwest storm, over too soon

I asked you to come home
Every day for four years
Restlessly wandering prone
Then i saw it in your eyes, all of my fears.

I cut my teeth on you
Drowning now I gotta sink or swim
Apathetic, i'll pace the room
Tell myself that you left on a whim
Nothing really left to do
But feel the lack of my phantom limb
Nothing left to lose
So i'll wipe my chin and get up again
And keeping singing these gaslight blues
Cause the only hard thing you chose was the end
