lyrics

It's not at all for you to even say
that everything is going to turn out OK
if I stay with you, things will be just fine
here,take these pills and drink some more wine

I took a spill, turned down the wrong road that night
crashed from the darkness of an unplugged night light
the shrouded beacon of a moon drowned in clouds
casting dingy grey ghosts, I think I shouted out loud
Not For You

She picked up on me, and my sigh of relief
told her my stories and she felt my release
I knew no one would ever believe what she saw
at the fork in the road, past the settling dust
What she saw

No other way, if I didn't vent my anger
seemed so illegal and our lives were so in danger, for a while
until that moment past the deed had been done
and the unforgiving moon became the tattletale sun (x2)
yeah, the unforgiving moon became the tattletale sun
Not For You
