It's Your Life
I guess I should get this over with before it rains
Before the Heavens open up again
My dear why I'm trying to say
Is that the sky's getting all the more grey
and no I didn't mean that as a metaphor or astounding implication
I'm just trying to bring you to a subtle realisation that
Even though it's your life
It still keeps others up at night my dear
So next time let me know before you call it quits
If it fails, I could help you deal with it
And if I don't hear from you again
Picture me out here still getting wet with my guitar
Staring at my sunflowers in the dark
Knowing that you've just about hit the mark of my pain threshold
And I really do not mean to be dramatic
It's just usually these leavings are kind of systematic
Even though it's your life
It still keeps others up at night my dear
So next time let me know before you call it quits
If it fails I could help you deal with it
And you didn't realise
It came as such a big surprise
Suddenly you'd up and gone it was
Like we'd done something wrong
Even though it's your life
It still keeps others up at night my dear
So next time let me know before you call it quits
If it fails, I could help you deal with it
