Another no-show
Gone ghost, my dear roadrunner
Can't say I'm surprised
Used to turning my eye
Letting it deaden me a little inside
Good thing I didn't hold my breath
I'd be blue, cold and still-hearted
Far beyond saving
No amount of your half-effort
Could put me back together, I know
For as much as I wish it weren't true
It's nothing new
Why give hope a voice
When I'll just be disappointed?
It's nothing new
Why maintain poise
While I'm picking my poison?
Might be despondent but far from surprised
A little voice in my head feeds me lie after lie
That your heart is still in it, despite all the signs
And I'd quit it if I could but it feels so good to falsify
Giving up the ghost
Low hope, but I feel it rising
Like morning sun on my shoulders
Gotta let it go
'cause I know I've been running, too
Running from the truth, that it's
It's nothing new
Why keep waiting when
I've given so much already?
It's nothing new
Your disappearing act
Holds me helplessly captive
Look my way and turn me buoyant
Turn common sense into useless noise
Know how it'll go, don't need a clairvoyant
I'd quit it if I could but it feels so good, the illusion of choice
I thought you'd be the love of my life
But you never told me otherwise
It's nothing new
Seek and destroy
Deluded and avoidant
It's nothing new
My blinders are down
Keeping it light and joyous
I'm a second-string option, faithful but forgotten
Giving my all for a pat on the back
Maybe it's unfair, but that doesn't stop it
So when it comes around, I just shut it down
