Needy Lyrics

Letters left on kitchen counters

Mother's asking why you're down

It's automatic

You've done nothing wrong

Kill the clutch and run on empty

Don't have much to say just let me

Write another stupid song

You've done nothing wrong

But can you give me a second when you've got one?

Can you shatter this silence with a shotgun?

Can you admit for a minute that we had fun?

Can you pretend that you wanted to meet me?

When you left me you made it look easy

There's things i need but don't call me needy

Alice said she saw you laughing with our friends i can't help asking

What is there to laugh about right now?

I said i'm glad to see you smiling

But recently I started lying

I've been bad and thirsty since the drought

And what is there to laugh about right now?

Can we cut out the cold conversations

I've had enough of your pity and patience

Way to spit on a situation

Can you let me get on with my writing?

Such a subtle and sad silver lining

Hex with my words and claim i'm not violent

August nights

5 o'clock light

And drawing out the last goodbye

You make a move and make me cry

Now make your bed it's time to lie

And leave me here to fossilise

I'll freeze beneath November skies

You watch the life drain from my eyes

You want your freedom, that's the price

You can keep our vinyl and our bed

Let me keep my dignity instead

I'd rather sleep on sorry splintered floor

I'd rather never sleep than ask for more

You can rewrite every single song

You can be the one to prove me wrong

God i'm getting tired of being strong

Are you getting tired of getting gone?
