Jack Watson - The Porch

Well these are the times that will tell
We always buy into the lies that we sell
We only take care if we think there's a hell
We fuck up and say there's no point to feel well
Oh, hey little one, where have you been?
I've been running all around like a madman
My eyes tired from the sting of the nights out
And fights with my demons when they try to keep me sane
I could have used you then
You should have been there when I needed a friend
I gave you everything I had and you put it to the torch
So I left your gifts on the porch
And I could never have shown you the way to go
You were on your own
Just like you always wanted
And you never gave me any sympathy even after we
Tried everything you wanted
You could never shown me the warmth of home
It was all for show
Just like you always wanted
And trust me we can see, you don't need anybody
So forget about me
Do everything you wanted
We were in our prime but what happened?
Everything was fine nothing mattered
Now there's all these lines and more lies all of time
But I'm fine, honestly I'm fine
Did you get my letters?
And how do you feel about the threats I made towards your parents?
Is this what you call love?
Cos it feels like torture, I left your gifts on the porch
You're stronger than my walls are
And you broke them down with promises
I've never been at war until now
But our memories are a battleground
You sort of freak me out, you kind of sneak about
Don't speak to me about your mixed feelings
Lead me on and maybe treat me wrong
But don't tell me it's part of your healing
You sort of freak me out, you kind of sneak about
Don't speak to me about your mixed feelings
Lead me on and maybe treat me wrong
But don't tell me it's part of your healing
You sort of freak me out, you kind of sneak about
Don't speak to me about your mixed feelings
Lead me on and maybe treat me wrong
But don't tell me it's part of your healing
You sort of freak me out, you kind of sneak about
Don't speak to me about your mixed feelings
Lead me on and maybe treat me wrong
But don't tell me it's part of your healing
And I could never have shown you the way to go
You were on your own
Just like you always wanted
And you never gave me any sympathy even after we
Tried everything you wanted
You could never shown me the warmth of home
It was all for show
Just like you always wanted
And trust me we can see, you don't need anybody
So forget about me
Do everything you wanted
