still

bad days
leading to bad nights
upstairs neighbors' fights
so i turn out all the lights
and let the tears fall

one down
so much more to go
the one path i know
you can say, "i told her so"
it won't help at all

from here
it all seems so clear
my life ruled by fear
so i held onto you, dear
so i wouldn't fall

night's come
i sit here alone
lights off, mute the phone
let go all the things i own
you can take it all
