Wristcutters Lullaby - Fischer-z

It’s hard for you

Seeing things the way you do

When you gave up that way I knew

You might get hurt again

I ran, when the police tried to contact me

I ran, I was so much afraid

I ran, till my legs buckled under me

I ran, but I wish that I’d stayed

When I agreed to leave

I didn’t think you had to give

Another demonstration like you did

And hurt yourself again

I ran, when the police tried to contact me

I ran, I was so much afraid

I ran, till my legs buckled under me

I ran, but I wish that I’d stayed

And now your lying injured in your bed

I feel responsible for what you did

I sometimes wish that it was me instead of you

I want to say

I’m sorry that I couldn’t stay

Although I let you down today

You won’t get hurt again

I ran, when the police tried to contact me

I ran, I was so much afraid

I ran, till my legs buckled under me

I ran, but I wish that I’d stayed
