The Cowardly Lion Doesn't Write Love Songs

(专辑： I Clung To You Hoping We'd Both Drown - 2011)

It's turning on the TV when you were fourteen
You said, "My mom's asleep, we won't get caught, what do you want to watch?"
And I could hear the traffic that I know you're ignoring
But I let it into my life to thicken to air I breathe

It was at the bus stop that a woman cried
And I could tell she was different by the look in her eyes
And I don't know what she said, but I felt what she meant
In her honesty

And I went to your house that night and I told you about
The woman's eyes and the words in her mouth
And how I wouldn't mind taking her advice one day
But I'm the cowardly lion

I'll leave quietly
If that means
A better chance to commemorate what we had
When we were happy

This isn't a love song, no, not in the least
I just miss you watching my TV
When I'm writing
So I can hear you laughing

I swear to god I still hear you when I close my eyes
And you'd tell me I'm not gonna die
Like you used to
Before I did this

You're the sunlight that I wished would leave
I'm the rain cloud I don't wanna be
'Cause the more you're gone
The more I grow pale
I grow pale

You're the sunlight that I wished would leave
I'm the rain cloud I don't wanna be
'Cause the more you're gone
The more I grow pale
I grow pale
