about

An ode to a bad part of my life.

lyrics

It transpires that while I was admiring you
Everyone saw something else.
When they gave me their criticisms
I should not have kept them to myself.

Give me a Lighthouse
I'll show you a shipwreck
All you were good for
Was making me feel bad.
Let's smash our hearts against the rocks until we're bleeding.
And then let's stay there til the sea starts receding.

While you may have been just what I needed
You're not what I'd ever want.
When the stormy pinkness approached
I should not have been so nonchalant.

Give me a Lighthouse
I'll show you a shipwreck
All you were good for
Was making me feel bad.
Let's smash our hearts against the rocks until we're bleeding.
And then let's stay there til the sea starts receding.

Maybe in a few years things could go right.
Wouldn't be goodbye, just good night.
We'd be older and wiser too.
But the oldness and the wiseness would remind me
Of the things I hate about you.

Give me a Lighthouse
I'll show you a shipwreck
All you were good for
Was making me feel bad.
Let's smash our hearts against the rocks until we're bleeding.
And then let's stay there til the sea starts receding.
