lyrics

When night is young and all is weary
And my eyes cling to the contours they can find
And my clocks tick ever anxiously
Weeping for agreement in time
I look back and see the cause of my sweet sorrow
And walk into the shadows of my mind

Hurting head, tired eyes
Close them and she'll go away
That's the girl she is today
That's the man I am today

It's bittersweet when anger rears its ugly head
So many things are better left unthought, unsaid
But leave no regret when spoken
Like setting down a token of my shattered past for all to see
And take like many things I never seized

Hurting head, tired eyes
Close them and she'll go away
That's the girl she is today
That's the man I am today
