From the recording Cognitive Dissonance
Lyrics
Darker circles
You'd never let me get a night's sleep
From crying
Into dangerous dreams I couldn't mend
My seat stayed empty
Cause money never did grow on trees
And all your younger years so quickly
Got swept away
Maybe in the end
You'll understand the price I paid
Surely you must know it was all for you
Maybe in the end
You'll understand why I'm this grey
This grey
Cause loving you is so high maintenance
And the cost to keep you shining's climbed
Loving you is just so high maintenance
That I can't think about us losing time
To you I've just been turning off
But I'd do it again every time
If it means you'll smile
If it means you'll smile
Still you test me
Even when we're over oceans and lies
The colours of fear in your eyes
Look just like me
So maybe in the end
You'll understand the price I pay
Surely you must know it was all for you
Maybe in the end
You'll understand why I'm this way
This way
Cause loving you is so high maintenance
And the cost to keep you shining's climbed
Loving you is just so high maintenance
That I can't think about us losing time
To you I've just been turning off
But I'd do it again every time
If it means you'll smile
To you I've just been turning off
But I'd do it again every time
If it means you'll smile
You best know I won't be around much longer
And I know we're strangers
You best know I won't be around much longer
And I know we're strangers
You best know I won't be around much longer child
And I know we're strangers now
You best know I won't be around much longer child
But I'll still remember holding you in my arms
But I'll still remember holding you in my arms
