Equal Measures - Milestones

It’s too late at night to hold my sight

Why can’t I see that I am blind?

My patience is wearing thin

So I guess I’ll have to take this on the chin

Despite the words I said so long ago;

I still cared

And I cared that I never got a piece of what we claimed

And I care that I always shouldered the blame

Despite the words that I said so long ago

Despite the words that I’ve learnt to know

And I’ve shown this to be a bitter part of me

I’m a loss if I leave

And my friend is my foe, and how can I grow

When I’m stuck here?

So I hide away and just let the days begin to scare me into thinking that it’ll

haunt me 'til I can’t rest

But I suppose the nights are worse

They’ve made me scared of sleeping

For someone who’s supposed to care, you made it look so easy

I thought the problem was you can’t see

You pulled me apart and you left me to bleed

But now I know that you were far from blind

You saw it all the time, you watched and you smiled

And I cared that I never got a piece of what we claimed

And I care that I always shouldered the blame

Despite the words that I said so long ago

Despite the words that I’ve learnt to know

And I’ve shown this to be a bitter part of me

I’m a loss if I leave

And my friend is my foe, and how can I grow

When I’m stuck here?

Cause I’m still here

Girl, I’m talking to you

I’m still here

Equal measures aside

Don’t trip with my mind

I’m leaving here
