Right Way

 What is the right way to be mad at someone who is suicidal 

Lost at sea

 I had a dream I was watching your birthday party from a far off window

It felt a bit wrong, a bit sad

I turned away

and there was the reflection of it

no escape

Did you love me like you wrote? I’m afraid so

“I’m in bad love
I'm awake though with nothing to dream
I'm a stone's throw
There's a whole lot of nothing to me

I'm in bad love, don't be sad, love
I'm amazed that you ever loved me
Imma lay low 'til my heart glows
Please don't wait up, don't wait up for me

I'm a calm sea
And there's danger there lurking beneath
And if you changed me
I'm afraid love it was lost on me

I'm awakened and my heart's bled
In the mouths of the people I please
I'm a fraud now, hope to god now
That those people aren't listening to me

Who needs comfortable love?
Who needs comfortable love?

I want bad news
Like the headlines we read about war
I'm a prelude
Let's hear the heartbreaks that you felt before

You're a call to arms, I love you
But I worry about letting you leave
Imma save you, but I'll wait to
Tell you anything, that I might need

Who needs comfortable love?
Who needs comfortable love?
Who needs comfortable love?

I'm in bad love, don't be sad, love
I'm amazed that you ever loved me”
