The Creekan Hideout: Lyrics to Coward

Coward

In the days that passed after I found out about what you'd done I put the blame largely upon me.
But then time went on in its methodical way, and I came to realize there was nothing I could do to calm your insecurities.
So I'll just take it day by day
I've got to move on.
I guess there's nothing left to say.
I'll feel better once you've gone.

Gotta get up, gotta get up
gotta keep moving forward through this
gotta get up, gotta get out
or I'll keep on feeling hopeless
what have you been keeping from me?
what will you say when I find out?
what did you say, what did yous say?
you said nothing, you coward.

maybe if I had talked down to you or distrusted you I could understand what you did to me.
Instead I gave you alll I could and you repaid me with your dishonesty
It's like I forgot how to sleep
I wake up so cold
and all of this is leaving me
feeling so damn old

Gotta get up, gotta get up
gotta keep moving forward through this
gotta get up, gotta get out
or I'll keep on feeling hopeless
what have you been keeping from me?
what will you say when I find out?
what did you say, what did yous say?
you said nothing, you coward.
it's all come undone
and now I see through.
nothing you say
can make me trust you
you keep talking
and it's becoming absurd
just let me go
without a word. you coward.

I've done my time, I've walked through the ashes of the bridges that you decided you would burn down.
you reach out to me and I can see it so clearly: I'm not gonna be the one who's sticking around.
regardless of good intentions
a lie is still a lie.
I'll leave you only my footprints
I'm telling you good bye

Coward
