this wasnt supposed to be a test
of will or years of patience
but when you opened your mouth
and still nothing came out
I was speechless
you've got a million things upon your nightstand
oh I hate them
but it was in the pill
I am swallowing still
'cause I messed up, yeah I messed up
so keep the lights on so I can remember why I came
sometimes I doubt you my murmuring darling
in the bloodlines, in the straight lines
on the sidewalks in the palm of your hand
I mumble through
and you talk through me and it's hard
the lights, the lights they might
have brought me to the rocks here, where I am sinking
and its all in the pill I am trying to cough up
'cause I messed up, yeah I messed up
so keep the lights on so I can remember why I came
sometimes I doubt you my murmuring darling
