lyrics

As I stepped in the river
I turned around and what did I see
I saw the black hole of my suspicion
I saw the monster of my own jealousy
Coming in after me

Cornflower you protect me from myself
Cornflower I don't trust nobody else

I am mean and unpredictable
I can bite the hand that's feeding me
I can even hurt you my friend
Because I can't seem to let things be
There's a demon inside of me

Cornflower you make me humble to my bones
Cornflower I'm afraid to be alone

I can't ask you to be my friend
I don't expect you to be there till the end
'Cause I can't guarantee my love wont hurt you
All the trouble I've been through
It's a wall between me and you
Even though it kills me to desert you

Cornflower I just want to do what's right
Cornflower I'll be leaving here tonight
