Relief

Cavernous apartment

Laughter till our eyes wet

Sizzle of the frying pan

Rambling on some story

Downtown in its glory

Living it all secondhand

You mirrored them in me

All those heavy feelings

It was all that I was needing

Acted as my refuge

And I just adored you

Never gonna have it again

But I've found

Some relief

No longer

Do I worry

You came home so drunk you

Looked at me right through

I fled out and into the street

Body began to wear

You would just despair

Borrowing your daughters money

Didn't disappoint me

I wanted you okay

Little else held any meaning

Did all that I could do

Not a child to you

Couldn't grin and bear it for me

But I've found

Some relief

No longer

Do I worry

Hid from me what you didn't have to

Hid from me what I already knew

Hid from me what you didn't have to

Hid from me what I

Hid from me what I

Already knew
