Rest Easy -

As we are sitting

I can tell now what your thinking

And with every word that breaks your lips

My heart is slowly sinking

I told you from the beginning

That this would all end up poorly

But you had to risk it all

Just to have a true love story

I promised you the world

But i only gave you dirt

And i promised you your happiness

But i only gave you hurt

I was not worth all the hardships

The reward was not in sight

So you had to let me go

And carry on with your life

But who am I

To stand between your happiness and your joy

When i thought i was the key to unlocking all those doors

But i had it all backwards

I was holding you back from so much more

We utilize distraction just to look the other way

We personify our failures

And stare them in the face

We have buried all our skeletons

And moved on from our ghosts

But the tragedy still eats away at the ones who love us most

It all starts with isolation

Why i always feel alone

Why your key is on the counter

And your never coming home

There are things i can’t remember

And things i will replace

The one thing you will never take

That defeated look

That drips across your face

You say that I’m easy to forget

But you’re the one thing

I will not regret

Rest easy

Rest easy

Rest easy

(rest easy)

Knowing that i will die alone

In a one bedroom apartment

While you’re sleeping in your home

(rest easy)

Knowing you’re the only love i knew

And i thought you were my world

But i never meant a fucking thing to you

(rest easy)

Knowing that i tried

Knowing you were wrong

Knowing that they lied

Rest Easy

Knowing that i tried

Knowing you were wrong

Knowing that they lied

Rest easy
