Consolation

Consolation

Rest in peace tonight
My bitter memories
Lend me peace of mind
Please just let me sleep
So I lay me down
This bitter, broken man
It is time to move on
Do not open those old wounds again

So I try to be everything you wanted
I try so hard to be just what you need
And believe me when I say
I am sorry for the way
I became your consolation prize boyfriend

I know you deserve
Much more than I can give
Consolation prize
You might as well not win
Now we're both alone
So many miles apart
And I have to know
Am I still in your heart

Because I try to be everything you ever wanted
I try so hard to be your tragedy
Please believe me when I say
One day I will find a way
To be more than your consolation prize boyfriend
