Early Warnings

A lighthouse, a beacon
A gust that brought me to my knees and
A vague horizon, still searching
You know you're not the only reason
Tomorrow, you're waiting
Relentless in your imitating
A better version of yourself
Emotions always withheld
Nothing you say will change a thing
But you say it anyway
Driving to you in pouring rain
Always made me feel the same
You don't try to mask it
Cut up by now, you're heavy handed
Early warnings could only
Reveal your shame, but you demand it
Another year older
Still here somehow and someone told her
Love is only suggested
But not what you expected
Nothing you say will change a thing
But you say it anyway
Driving to you in pouring rain
Always made me feel the same
How could I know that you would run
At the hint of something more
It's never enough to be just one
Of the others from before
Now that I know you will run
At the hint of something more
It's never enough to be just one
Of the others from before
