Tread Lightly - Great Cynics

Tread Lightly, speak dearly

leave the light on when you leave me

I get bad when I’m left alone

I’ve learnt how to take my time

by waiting around for some other guy

staying inside home on Friday nights

But times like these it just makes it worse

I breathe in reverse and I’m gonna burst

with the fear that I won’t come back to life

Please don’t hurt me anymore

Walk around looking for someone to be

it’s like I fucking like the feeling of not being safe

just wanna feel ordinary

Smoking out the window of a stranger’s bedroom

I drag gently and hum «Bruises on the fruit.

Tender age in bloom.»

I stole my happiness from tomorrow and took it tonight

you stretched so thin and got so high,

it took up all your time, stole your healthy mind

until your red eyes met natural light

I can’t feel anything anymore

when it rains it pours.

Please don’t hurt me anymore.
