this darkness isn't big enough for two

I don't want to be alone with you
in the dark tonight
trading scars and spilling darkness
like cheap cask wine
because alcoholics
don't buy nice things
and our souls don't know
how to aim for top shelf destruction

We are discarded art
half drawn and torn in strange places
I tried to tape you back together
but you wrapped me up
in your co-dependence
and I was too lonely to cut you off
because like every drug
that's picked me up to let me fall
you got inside and gave me something
I never really needed
but convinced myself was worth it

These tears running down my face
aren't a longing for days gone by
they're the bones of grief
that I wasted my whole life
believing I could resurrect ghosts
with the power of love
when you never really loved me back
you just shoved me in a box
for later use
when every other bridge had been burned
and I didn't realise that the being on fire
didn't make me a beacon of light

I don't want to be alone with you
in the dark tonight
to let you whisper false hope
into the weakened cracks of me
so take your cask wine philosophies
and spill them on the midnight pavement
and divine yourself a different future
because this love ends with me

I don't want to be alone with you
in the dark tonight
