As It Is - Upswing

Another night I spend alone
Dinner for one and TV shows
(You knocked me down)
Set me alight, I'll still feel cold
Subsequent to a life you chose
I'm just a fact you read, I'm in your head then out again
I'm just the skin you shed and want until the winter's end
The corners of your room get your attention more than I do
I tried so fucking hard for you
Another night, it takes its toll
I brace the heartache with my skull
(You knocked me down)
I'm such a mess it's laughable
A foolish boy with no control
I thought you were perfect 'cause I only looked at you close
Like I saw life through a telescope
Then I backed away, saw my potential in everything
I knocked you down on my upswing
