Accepting Defeat

Tiny starlight raindrops

Clinging to my lashes

Creep up my dizzy cheeks

Like cold and broken ashes

Fallen, fallen

All I ever do is fall

When I can't get to my feet

Will I be able to crawl?

Fingers dig into the skin

Cresent shapes make me think of you

Bleeding, bleeding

Baby, what else can I do?

Wipe away the tears and blood

Look at this lovely sin

I can feel my heart breaking

Every time I let you win

Let me take you

Let me take your heart

Let me fill it with the love

That keeps tearing me apart

I keep reaching for your fingers

Let them cradle mine

And then I think, maybe

That I'll be just fine
