lyrics

I'm feeling just a little lighter
in the twilight of my pain
though I am broken i am brighter
dreams are on their way
And though I wanted you to love me
and bring me comfort in the night
there’s an angel above me
so i close my eyes

But this lullaby was wasted, on a love gone bad
Our melody has faded, and I’m still so sad
We were both a little broken
And you wanted me to choose
So this lullaby was wasted,
cos i wrote it all for you

You said you’d take me to a dreamland
upon the outskirts of my mind
Float me higher than a feather
leave me in the light
You said that you would stay with me until i went to sleep
and that you did my darling but you left me in my dream

So this lullaby was wasted, on a love gone bad
Our melody has faded, are you still so sad
We were both a little broken
And you wanted me to choose
So this lullaby was wasted,
cos i wrote it all for you

I’m feeling just a little lighter
at the end of this season
you’ll give me a reason to go
find a world that seems brighter
swim far from the deep end
and every demon I know

But this lullaby was wasted, on a love gone bad
Our melody has faded, and I’m still so sad
We were both a little broken
And you wanted me to choose
So this lullaby was wasted,
cos i wrote it all for you
