Restless Things

Don't You Worry

I'm growing tired now,
That's true,
And our love is lost,
It's wondering around
Somewhere,
And it doesn't know you,
Or me anymore,
Oh but I could still get high on you,
And never come down,
And I could still drink you in,
And willingly drown,
But that wouldn't really be fair,
Darling, are you even there?

Don't worry now,
It's just a few memories,
It hasn't been so long,
Oh you still haunt my dreams,
And I hate to admit it now,
But we're ricocheting,
Tumbling down,
Getting farther,
It's so ugly now,
But don't you worry, Darling.

Sometimes my mind goes back,
To that park,
The first time we touched hands,
Remember how that felt?
Darling, it was magic,
Like that time,
I picked all those flowers,
And made a heart for you,
You remember, don't you?
I bet you don't think about any of that
Now,
No, you're not the kind to look back,
but that's ok,
It's all a little ugly now anyway,
How can I say you haven't tried?

Really no point in fighting,
Darling, I was never really fair,
Darling, you were never really fair,
But it was beautiful,
And maybe a little tragic,
But who cares?
Given half the chance I'd take it all back,
All those years you plucked from me,
All those years I let you,
Everything has changed now,
So I'll stop worrying.

It's just too much to worry about anyway,
So let's call a break,
A freeze-frame,
Save those memories into pictures,
So I don't have to keep them in my mind,
They're better packed up this way,
I've got it all locked up safe,
It's never getting away,
But I can't carry it anymore,
Don't you understand?
Trust me now,
It's just tucked away,
In picture frames,
In a dusty box,
In a safe place,
So don't you worry now.

This isn't how your heart breaks,
That's been done before,
And it's all the same,
That familiar cracking sound,
You don't even feel it anymore,
There isn't much to it,
Just a whisper,
A cry,
A song,
A lie,
I'll show you how to say goodbye,
So don't you worry, Darling,
Don't you worry now
