A Sadder Sound - Softer Still

Waking to a sadder sound

We’ve got all these hopes and desires

The pressure to do better now

But I’m still filled with discontent

So hold me, save me

Whispers words that never end

If it breaks me, then maybe

Call it quits now please girl come and save me

Oh sweet release

Why do you tease?

When I’m down and out

Oh sweet release

Where have you been?

I’m tired now

Of lying in waiting

Living in these anxious times

Captive to your thoughts and desires

Coming up with stories now

That justify your hopes and dreams

So hold me, save me

Whisper words that never end

If it breaks me, then maybe

Call it quits now please girl come and save me

Lying and waiting

I’m lying and waiting

You pick me up

You pick me up

Waking up to a sadder sound

Oh sweet release

Why do you tease?

When I’m down and out

Oh sweet release

Where have you been?

I’m tired now

Of lying in waiting
