Blown Down

Trapped somewhere stifling between a birthday and a heartache With a mad dog conscience out to get me Waiting, blowing icing bubbles, blowing off your steam I'd really like to leave but you won't let me You won't let me blow the candles out or burn them at both ends As I'm writhing trying to shake you off my back And I know that all this talk of parties, mayhem, love, and death Is only giving me another heart attack Knowing I am better, I guess I best be moving on I see you turn your head away to hide another yawn You blow me a kiss You blow me away You keep me awake You keep me at bay And I never know what to say How long can you treat me this way? Rotting in the darkness of this prison that you built I find a side of me I never knew Stagnant and resentful, I boil in the haze Forever wondering what to make of you Somewhere someone somehow managed to turn off all the lights And I can't help but think that it was me If I could, I would restore the faith I'd render our time holy I'd take your hand; together we'd be free You say I know better, I know I best be moving on Cuz if I wait around for you, I'll blink and you'll be gone You'll blow me a kiss You'll blow me away You'll keep me awake You'll keep me at bay And now that I know what to say How long can you keep running away? Now that I know what to say How long can you run away? You said I knew better, I knew I'd best be moving on Cuz if I'd waited around for you, I'd have blinked and you'd been gone You'd blow me a kiss You'd blow me away You kept me awake You kept me at bay Now that I know what to say How long can you keep running away? Now that I know what to say How long can you run away? Blown down
