Grey Sky Song

from Life in Monochrome by Electra Descending

lyrics

I gave myself to you, you never did the same
I was a grey sky, baby you brought the rain
Sometimes I reminisce about the time before it faded
That fucked up thing which we called love

So build me up, then tear me down
Use me up, I'll topple to the ground
I'm too tired for another fight
Kiss me so gently as you turn out the light

I tried my best, did you try at all?
Why do I bother? Why do I call?
What is there left here to sustain?
What am I grasping for?

So pick me up, and tear me apart
I'll be who you want, I'll play the part
I'm too tired for one more fight
With that gentle violence, turn out the light

I'm tired of pining
I'm tired of begging
desperately trying to earn your love

I'm tired of crying
Bargaining, denying
Cuz in the end you are gone

So pick me up, and lead me on
This is over, now you're gone
I'm too tired for another fight
It all ends here now, it ends tonight

The promises that you broke I don't forget
Your "loyalty" is bullshit, and I'm sick of it
Like many others, I'll burn this bridge
In the end I'll be better for it
