These Things Happen Songtext
von Lavender Decline

They tell me these things happen all the time
But I′m still fighting for you
A constant melody I sing
'Cause l′ve still never seen you in a bad light
They cursed me eternally to rot in my bed
And wish I was something of note
Your constant echo, it still rings
I wish I could go back and relive that night

Tangled up bedsheets in the guest room
Struck the iron so much that it cooled down
All I wanted in life was to protect you
But you're telling everyone that l'm the fool now
I let it happen ′cause I thought that you were different
Don′t you ever go forgetting what I told you
That we were one in the same, at least as children
But now I kinda wish I didn't ever know you


You spin me around, you′re getting me down, it's alright
I′m trying to fly, you're blocking my sight, it′s just fine
I'll give it a rest, I'm trying to stress that I′m still fighting
I′m still fighting, fighting for you
And now that you see me dead in the street, you care now
So thanks for nothing, I never thought it was fair how
You brush it all off, and act as if it was never your problem
It's your problem as much as it′s mine

So l'll carry myself with that pride
Knowing I didn′t do it this time (this time)
Get away from me now
Before you hurt yourself again, it's the cycle of your life
And I′d be lying if I said I didn't feel bad
Because you never asked to be this way
So get away from me now
Before I run this car off the road, and leave the seats red-stained

As I'm blinded by headlights, I stare down the yellow line
And contemplate if this is worth my life
As I debate the answer, I think of you, and see my world
And that′s why I made it home that night
But you didn′t know, it's okay, don′t worry, I know you didn't know
I know you didn′t know
I know you didn't know
I know you didn′t know
