Tilly
Written: 1996

well i’m 22 years old and i’m fucked in the head
leave me alone i’ve been left for dead
sitting alone in our empty space
with the letter you gave to me

and i cried all night but I just couldn’t sleep
and i fought with all my might
i needed someone to save me

as the time ticks by and i’m fading fast
cause everyday just might be my last
sitting alone in our empty space
with the letter that you gave to me

and i never would have meant for you to happen to me
but i never could prevent what my heart had to say
and i tried all night
but i just couldn’t fall to sleep

because never would i guess (never of guessed)
i’d learn how to cry (that i’d learn how to cry)
until the day you left me (now that you’re gone)
with just a good-bye
