"No Daisy"

"no daisy"


she ain't coming home
she is not alone
it's hard to swallow, the tears that follow
never stay
and fear and anger, familiar strangers
wipe them away

now i'm standing
with not so much as a friend
and this crash landing 
has me on crutches again

she was my last time around
she was such a let down
while i was shaking, she was faking
she gave a damn
i know you say you can't see it that way
but i can

now i'm lazy
with no more dreams to defend
and you're no daisy
as it turns out in the end

well i can't fake one more smile for anyone
i'll take off my mask and get some sun for you.
