It is the quest
It is the goal
It's a professional mistake
It is the corner of your room
That's never lit when it gets late
It is the writing on that celebrated wall
It is the all in hand that let you lose it all
It's not a sin it's not a terminal disease
It's not a pilot light in your head that flickers out in any breeze
It's not a cautionary tale
It's not all cakes and ginger ale
Not a place
Not a town
and not your team that let you down
It's the kind of heart ache
hard to measure
hen you're sick of them saying "It's all for the better"
Some get through
Some get left behind
It is the lump at the back of your throat
For all those letters you never wrote
It is the street that you grew up on
and all the street lights that kept you warm
It is the writing on that celebrated wall
it is the all in hand that let you win it all
It's not a date with some girl you want to fuck
It's not the one and only reason Honey
we're shit out of luck
It's not a mermaid in the suburbs
that crawled out of your drain
It's not a place
It's not a town
It's not some team that let you down
It's the kind of heart ache
Hard to measure
When you're sick of them saying It's all for the better
Some get through and some get left behind
It's not a sin it's not a terminal disease
It's not a pilot light in your head that flickers out in any breeze
It's not a cautionary tale
It's not all cakes and ginger ale
Not a place
Not a town
and not your team that let you down
It's the kind of heart ache
hard to measure
hen you're sick of them saying "It's all for the better"
Some get through
Some get left behind
