When I Was An Orphan

Mark Melicia / The Parlor Mob

I can see your face call it
Breaking me alright
Pretty soon your heart will be gone

You can have the best of me
I can take the rest of me
Why are we growing apart

Ripping out the guts
Where there's something to save

Can you take more
Take more all I ask for
Can you make sure
Make sure I come after

Passing out your plastic
That couldn't care couldn't care
Tell your turning back
That I'd trade you for no one

When I was an orphan
And you were a crow
I couldn't believe
You were saying it's so
So I held out my arms
Like love was such a laugh

But I'd follow forgiveness
Back to the sun
If you and I were the only ones to stay
Or how is it supposed to be now

I can see the bones of indifference
It's sickening
Sticking through the side
Of the fool I became

Another photograph
To kiss me in the morning
How can I call you back
You don't treat me the same

Can you fake more
Fake more childish laughter
Can you make sure
Make sure I come after

Lipstick on the glass
Left to figure out figure out
Packed your pretty promise
It's the gift that you gave

When you were a daughter
And I was scab
And I never remembered
Feeling so bad
You pulled my hair
And I smashed your telephone

You're set in your ways
And not changing for me
And I said it so clear
Still you didn't agree

You just left it so chance
As if some way it's free and it failed
So how is it supposed to be now

Starting to see
This is getting us nowhere
Hurt from the hope
That you held in your hand

Can you take more
Take more all I ask for
Can you make sure
Make sure I come after
