The Dear Hunter - The Squeaky Wheel lyrics

There's my suitor
Struggling to find his footing
Lost, awoken, alone
After sleeping off inebriation
I forget that I've been holding
My tongue for so long cause we had a run
So don your Sunday best and wake up

You went missing
Never mind the life I was wishing for
Cause you'd had enough - but at least
You got enough to fake it i'll keep smiling
Optimistically denying what I feared the most
That you disappeared and leave me wondering

Was I just a playful pawn
A trophy you had won?
Someone who could lift you when you're low?
Innocence to prey upon, or allies in the sun?
Heaven sent, or just hell bent on love?

Darling liar
Always running through the brier
What, the cuts aren't enough? Just
An aggravation you'd forget
Like promised patience
Politic alleviations of
What I should've known was a
Sign of future expiration

Was I just a playful pawn
A trophy you had won?
Someone who could lift you when you're low?
Innocence to prey upon, or allies in the sun?
Heaven sent, or just hell bent on love?

So will I marry a myth?
Or is there room for second chances?
The lust lives in the dark and may never show

Well, the battle ended years ago
Now this is how you say hello
Well where'd you take your leave?
Or would you rather keep another
Trick up your sleeve? Do you remember love?
How you said you really
Never could feel enough?
Well, did you give it a try?
Why don't you open your eyes and let me know?

Was I just a playful pawn
Or a trophy you had won?
Someone who could lift you when you're low?
Innocence to prey upon, or allies in the sun?
Heaven sent, or just hell bent on love?

What will happen to us?
Do you think we'll make the cut?
Should we give it a try?
Give an eye for an eye?
Give ourselves to the lie?
