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 self-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
