What About Us

The Bigger Lights

I woke up
To an empty cup
And your page worth of crooked lines.
You took your space
And hid your face
Like you’ve done so many times.
I don’t want to wait that long
I don’t want to wait that long again
But I’ll see you when your winter ends

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough
When you’re the one giving up?

So careful now,
You’re running out
of comebacks and runaways
what about me?
what about love?
What about us?
What about us?

I close my eyes
You’re on my side
With summer tangled in your hair
The city lights were dim at night
Was there nothing for you there?
I don’t want to wait that long
I don’t want to wait that long again
But I’ll see you when your winter ends


So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you’re the one giving up.

So careful now
You’re running out
Of comebacks and runaways
What about me?
What about love?
What about I’ve had enough?
I’ve called your bluff
Tonight I draw the line
I’ve cut the strings and burnt everything
I’m not coming back this time

I’m not going to wait that long
I’m not going to wait that long again.
I’m not going to wait

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you’re the one giving up?

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you’re the one giving up?

So careful now
You’re running out
Of comebacks and runaways
What about me?
What about love?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
