it's light outside
when you finally see
a quiet failure sleeping next to you

don't think
don't try
don't rush away

when i say you deserve less

you try so hard to be as sweet as you can for me
but i don't see you for who you are
rose of sharon in my failing light
ringless finger
pretend you don't know how you stand it
cause you know you are nobody

don't think
don't try
don't rush away

you try so hard to be as sweet as you can for me
but i don't see you for who you are
rose of sharon in my failing light
