Matthew Dunn - Failures Lyrics

I miss the youth, the comforting thought
My life hadn't begun yet, it might never even start
This invasion of repulsion, my own scorched Earth policy
I cut down the trees and burn all the leaves as the city sleeps

Maybe you could kiss me or maybe you could turn the other cheek
Remember who hurt you, have you forgotten all the ones you loved?
Fill shelves with your trinkets and pictures just dust them off
Forgive all the failures if this is all that you want

I drew a sketch of the perfect life
The taste of sadness behind every smile
The words that we speak make sounds that cut deep
I cut down the trees and burn all the leaves as the city sleeps

Maybe you could kiss me or maybe you could turn the other cheek
Remember who hurt you, have you forgotten all the ones you loved?
Fill shelves with your trinkets and pictures just dust them off
Forgive all the failures if this is all that you want

Maybe you could kiss me or maybe you could turn the other cheek
Remember who hurt you, have you forgotten all the ones you loved?
Fill shelves with your trinkets and pictures just dust them off
Forgive all the failures if this is all that you want
