Sister City - Swailing Lyrics

I told my mom it wouldn't be me to end it
Back in the beginning, and she knew I meant it
I saw it through, that's what I do
Wish I'd known then it's not the same for you
What changed? Was I a lark?
You're skipping through your days while I stumble in the dark
I need to talk, I need to fight
We need to have it out, come show me what's inside

I didn't lose my way
Didn't train in vain
I followed at your beck and call
For eighteen hundred days
I was your dog
I was your pet
I was nipping at your heels
From the first day we met

But then again, what's the point of talking
When you don't listen, and your words mean nothing
I'm sorry it's so inconvenient
To have wrung someone you once believed in
And if you're not sure about a man
Maybe don't say you want to marry him
Maybe don't make years of plans
If you don't have the will to work for them

I didn't lose my way
Didn't train in vain
I followed at your beck and call
For eighteen hundred days
I was your dog
I was your pet
I was nipping at your heels
From the first day we met

Hurt me please
That's what I need
Tell me every single thing
You grew to hate about me
Spare nothing
I need to know
Why I'm halfway to hell
And I'm there on my own

I need to talk, I need to fight
We need to have it out, come show me what's inside

I didn't lose my way
Didn't train in vain
I followed at your beck and call
For eighteen hundred days
I was your dog
I was your pet
I was nipping at your heels
From the first day we met

Please hurt me
It's what I need
Tell me every single thing
That you despise about me
Spare nothing
I need to know
Why I'm halfway through life
Still completely alone

I didn't lose my way
Didn't train in vain
I followed at your beck and call
For eighteen hundred days
I was your dog
I was your pet
I've been aching for you, babe
Since the day that you left, you should know
