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

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
