Songs I Write | V

Shoes

The sole's come off of my shoes
The soul's been sucked out of you
An emptiness harbours in my skin
I'm thinking where the hell you've been
I've been stuck chasing dead-end roads
I've been struck by your faithless hope
You wanna marry me someday
You must be insane

'Cause this is the part where I run away
I've got to flee this dream
But with the sole of my shoes falling off
I've got no other place to be

I wanna run but I keep tripping on leaves
And you're here, darling, even if barely
And I wanted you but I want free
I don't want to be stuck in this cycle
Pedalling and falling off is making me psycho
I'll be in my room if you're calling for me

With heavy feet, I'm walking behind
The tantrum of a stupid child
'Cause you never listen or pay attention
And you miss me by a mile, man
I miss those innocent nights
All I'd do was giggle and smile
At your sheer idiocy, thinking it was a joke
Now it's been a year, your love's a hoax

What happened to the boy who wrote me the note?
What happened to him, you say you don't even know
I wanna wake up, pretend it was an unpleasant dream of the night
When I wake up, you're not there, and the sole of my shoes is pissing me off

I wanna run but I keep tripping on leaves
And you're here, darling, even if barely
And I wanted you but I want free
I don't want to be stuck in this cycle
Pedalling and falling off is making me psycho
I'll be in my room if you're calling for me

What happened to the boy who wrote me the note?
What happened to him, you say you don't even know
I wanna wake up, pretend it was an unpleasant dream of the night
When I wake up, you're not there, you're really pissing me off
