Lamp Shade
I'm good for you
In a broken way
Like when a lamp shade shatters
It's the light that matters
Everything is torn apart
In the beat of a desperate heart
The pieces won't go back together
You just sweep up the glass dust
Live with the bare light
Build some new trust
I used to be one of your heroes
From everything to nothing
In far less than zero
Faster than light
I was supporting you
You were fixing me
It was working so well for us
Or at least I thought it was
I really am good for you
In a broken way
You're right for me
In too many ways
You scare me
Or maybe I'm just afraid of what you offer
Now with the lamp shade broken
The shadows are gone
Pure light has burned away our illusions
Maybe it's just me
But I'm slowly filling with confusion
To steal a line from a favourite song
I never felt alone until I met you
The bright colours have all faded
The world is monochromatic blue
Everything feels so cold without you
You made everything feel like a dream
My beautiful bed, so soft and wonderful
That place that used to be a haven
It barely gets used anymore
I sleep on the couch most nights
My bed is made for two
It feels so empty without you
I am good for you
In a broken way
Maybe I'm bad for you too
In a broken way
Or maybe I'm not and I can't see it
Maybe we need to find a new lamp shade
To make things like they used to be
Or maybe I'm just broken
