Fake Sorries from Control by Jack Campbell

This is slowly sucking out my soul
I may say the things that i wanna say
but those are the things i don't want you to know

don't listen to me
or my ramblings
i think i finally lost my mind
you think i finally lost my mind

and i told myself
i'd get some sleep tonight
now it's a quarter past five
and there's no sunlight

maybe if i just shut my eyes
i can accomplish this
maybe that's my handicap
think I'll just aim for a little nap

and i can hear your fake sorries
echo in my mind so please
why can't you just leave me be
you said that you'd be here, maybe

i told myself i'd write a song
i told myself i'd walk it off
but i've been walking so long
and your face still isn't gone

seems like i can only produce
on my worst days
when i know from the start
that i feel out of place

i end up wandering around
in the creek by your house
till i trip and fall
when your sail comes about

things were said there
it's best not to hear
if you wanna keep your happiness
all wrapped up tight and near

but we said them anyway
and it wasn't just any day
you held your breath, you stopped my heart,
without the sun it soon turned dark

and i can hear your fake sorries
echo in my mind so please
why can't you just leave me be
you said that you'd be here, maybe

i told myself i'd write a song
i told myself i'd walk it off
but i've been walking so long
and your face still isn't gone
