Ell

Hello darling are you there?
Can't you see me standing here
In the rain with my tattered bag of roses
I thought we could maybe go out for a walk
Smell the sweet October trees
And if you slip, I'll be standing here to catch you
And oh gee
How happy we would be, just the world, and you, and I
We touch the sky and we build a clouded kingdom, oh how sweet
My parents you could meet
And I'd sweep you from your feet
And when it's dawn I'll wake up to see your face again

But if you slip away, I won't hesitate to take your brain
And keep it with me, so very safe
So don't let this go to waste

So tonight we could go out, and we'll see everyone else
We'll have a laugh, and we'll all share funny stories about how
I met you and you met me, we were walking on the street
And we found out that we have some common interests
Your hair, so beautiful and tame, in the cold November rain
And I always wondered how the hell it always looked the same
I would bring you gifts
You would bring me kisses
You were my only missus
Oh god how will I fix this?
Soon enough then I was dumped
That's what happens when in love
We're so blinded by our hearts
Reality's a piece of shit
And it isn't hard to miss
Relationships are sad, but that's life

So now you've slipped away
And left me to live a slow decay
Oh I hate me so much, you must be brave
So now I'll hold on
Hold o-o-on

And now that you've moved on
I've been living on my own
I never once predicted that you'd leave me so alone
And now you ruin everything
I made my life so cold
You never see the world in the way I would or should
