That right there, that right there. When you convince someone it won’t be half that bad and get their hopes high. Only to let them down.
You may not be frail, but I am. That’s why I think everything through. Maybe too much, maybe too far. Because that’s the only way I know how, how to avoid being let down. But maybe this time, I forgot to think through. I thought it would be fun to explore. It’s not. It’s not fun and it never will be. Because I’ve explored enough and I know how things play out. I just keep forgetting and excusing myself. Because that’s what I am, I like taking risks. I like putting myself out there to test myself. To see what I can and what I cannot take. It hurts for a while but the pain goes away by morning. And everything’s alright again.
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You’ll be alright, no one can hurt you now.
Come morning light, you and I’ll be safe and sound.
