Leave Me Loving Shadows

She said

"I'll always love you,

But I don't think I can stay."

Well, what the fuck does that mean?

Just don't love me, anyway.

Don't fill me full of feelings

Flinging caution in the air

Then just leave me loving shadows

And pretending someone's there.

Just tell me how you hate me

And you'll never change your mind

Collapse me in my own tears

So my salt eyes make me blind.

If you say you'll always love me

Then I'll always love you too

So just tell me you can't stand me

And I'll say I can't stand you.
