Song For a Weary Companion

from human, therefore no by Rowan Lewis

/

lyrics

Well you said, there's a lot to be thankful for
As I watched from the passenger door
You've lost weight, your eyes are rimmed beautiful red
But we're thankful, like you said.

So I can't help seeing, and I can't help feeling
And I can't help trying not to be too revealing
When the walls are up I am out of reach
But when they're down I use someone else's speech.

You're not broken, just a little bit chipped round the edge
Solid enough, but should be handled with care
And you're charming, almost too much for your own good
Flash a sad smile like I knew you should.

Because I can't help seeing, and I can't help feeling
And I can't help trying not to be too revealing
We'll get onto each other, know what makes the other
Keep fighting back.

We both know to apologise
For not being a part of our own lives
This shouldn't be what will define
Everything we leave behind
Sometimes, however, that's how things end
When you risk almost everything
To protect your mask
To protect someone you love.

Well you said, there's a lot to be sorry for
Hiding secrets, no more.
And we both keep, having nightmares and waking up cold
Let’s pretend we have it under control.

You’re better at planning, you’re more of a man
Braver than I’ll ever be, or already am
The things you went through without me are plastered online
I can’t help seeing them over, and over.

We both know to apologise
For not being a part of our own lives
This shouldn't be what will define
Everything we leave behind
Sometimes, however, that's how things end
When you risk almost everything
To protect your mask
To protect someone you love.

Well you said, there's a lot to be thankful for
As I watched from the passenger door
I can't help seeing, and I can't help feeling.
