Sadder, Smaller World

We make a lot of empty promises, don’t we?

Thoughts become plans become obligations

and it all ends up too heavy

We bury ourselves in bullshit

trying to hide from the truth

This little world I’m living in

is so much smaller and sadder now

And I tried to brighten it just that little bit

by clinging onto you so tight

Maybe I just really am too much

Maybe I’ll just drag you down

if I hold on any tighter

and maybe I made the big mistake

by not making intentions clear

Or even maybe by trying to follow so close

the only thing I had found

that could cut through the darkness

Don’t worry, I’ll let go

You’re free to carry on without me

I’ll learn some way to make it

in this sadder, smaller world

You build the one for you that you deserve
