Clumsy Metaphors

from Glowing Home by Blushbutton

lyrics

Too many tears
And not enough memories
And had you no fear
You wouldn't have held me so tight
That I crumbled to pieces
And slipped through your fingers
Leaving you
Was the last thing that I ever wanted

You
Could have said
Anything else
And I would have stayed
But you're just a little like a cigarette lighter
And I've had a run-in with a pyromaniac
And this little fire is
Just enough to say
I've gotta go
I'm sorry to leave you alone

We spent a lifetime
Riding that lightning bolt
But when the thunder crashed
Where did all the electricity go?
Who knows
This will all end in tears
This will all end in tears
This is ending in tears
Right now

You
Could have said
Anything else
And I would have stayed
But you're just a little like an itsy-bitsy spider
And I've had a run-in with a venomous tarantula
And this little web we're caught in
Has me sayin'
I've gotta go
I'm sorry to leave you alone

You
Could have said
Anything else
And I would have stayed
But you're just a little like a cigarette lighter
And I've had a run-in with a pyromaniac
And this little fire is
Just enough to say
I've gotta go
I'm sorry to leave you alone
