The Fickle Morning

And so the birds start their screaming
Because you let go of my hand
And old words lose all meaning
As the shadow of the dark night descends
Fickle morning, you are a liar
Look how you made a fool out of me
Mistook my love for desire
Assumed I need you to set me free
Fickle night, I know that you're scared
I know, because I am too
Scared of hurting someone else yet again
The way I've been hurt by you
And I don't want to touch you in the dawn
If I cannot hold onto you through the day
But as the sun slowly sets
Your love for me decays
