Anything But Down

                                  I light your cigarettes 

I bring you apples from the vine 

How quickly you forget 

I run the bath and pour the wine 



I bring you everything that floats into your mind 

You don't bring me anything but down 

You don't bring me anything but down 

You don't bring me anything but down 



When you come 'round 

You are a raging sea 

I pull myself out everyday 

I plead insanity 



'Cause I can't leave  but I can't stay 

You say, "Won't you come find me" and "Yes" is what I say 

But you don't bring me anything but down 

No, you don't bring me anything but down 



Everything is crashing to the ground 

Maybe I'm not your perfect kind 

Maybe I'm not what you had in mind 

Maybe we're just killing time 



You with your silky words 

And your eyes of green and blue 

You with your steel beliefs 

That don't match anything you do 



It was so much easier before you became you 

Now you don't bring me anything but down 

No, you don't bring me anything but down 

Everything just crashes to the ground 



When you come around, when you come around 

No more playing seek and hide 

No more long and wasted nights 

Can't you make it easy on yourself 



I know you wish you were strong 

You wish you were never wrong 

Well, I got some wishes of my own
