Madeline from Long Day by Grey Revell

Don't want your burden
don't want your battle
don't want another hour on your stage.

Don't want your rage
Don't want the way you tore me down
But I still want you

Madeline
There's no accounting for the state I'm in
I'd be insane to let you in again
I'd have to be a fool
But I still do.

I took your backroad straight to disaster
I gave you hell when you burned me down
I'm still your bum
I'm still your bastard
I'm still that kid from the other town.
We carve our lonely faces into worlds of stone.
Looking for love to venerate our holy bones,

I let you near
So you could tell me that there's nothing here
You can't attack me if I show no fear
But fearing's all I do.

Sometimes it's better if you don't get what you wanted.
Sometimes it's better if you fall apart
Sometimes it's better if you stay a little broken.
Sometimes it's better.

We put our masks up on each other
Playing the roles that we don't ever tell
Living in corners of the world that we've hidden from ourselves.
That's how i found you

Madeline
You know that I've forgiven every sin
I'd be insane to let you in again.
Such a fool.
