Plastic Picnic - Cartouche

You were the one stuck in the middle
Between what we had and something bigger
Thought the grass is always greener
But not in the desert with no sprinkler

Scared to dry out babe
Shortly after the honeymoon phase
I thought you know I’m not that way
I put out on even darker days

I’m the one for her
Though there’s fucked up history
I’m the one
I’m not scared to say
I think it’s best we stay

I already said it was my fault
That I can’t always blame art
A canvas meant to fade away
Stale paint from our darker days

(Don’t forgive me)
You’re scared to dry out babe
Shortly after that honeymoon phase
I thought you know I’m not that way
I put out even on darker days

I’m the one for her
Though there’s fucked up history
I’m the one
I’m not scared to say
I think it’s best we stay.


(REPRISE)

And you’ll try and find a reason
Why you’re stuck inside all season
You’ll say everyone wants to sleep just
Knowing you’re ok.

But what a lousy promise
When you know first hand I’m honest-y,
Struggling just to breathe without you friend

And you’ll never forgive me
I probably wouldn’t too
But at least I know you’re happy
Without the weight of me on you
