you talked me to sleep last night i hadn t felt that sad in years your eyes like glass mistakes they moved me close to tears you speak those favourite fables which i m yet to live and casually confirm my fears that i ve got nothing to give i wish i could say that i ve got no regrets but saying that would be one more to pile on my desk i wish i could say i ve clung to time like gold but as you said goodbye i almost died i almost died i take it back all of it those names i called myself the heroes of my childhood like hardbacks on the shelf i take it back those promises i made to everyone i m falling through a ribbon last before i d learnt to run i wish i could say that i ve got no regrets but saying that would be one more to pile on my desk i wish i could say i ve clung to time like gold but as you said goodbye i almost died i almost died i almost died
