Smashing Pumpkins - Daughter lyrics

When you say why you are going away

You defy me to be there

All your big deals and all of your days

You said you wouldn't but you still care

Everything you need is a delicate disaster

A brief catastrophe just to see if

I could find a way to stay and make this place

Somewhere that I could try and hold on

And give up on this chase that you say

I can't let it go

I'm at the end of my rope

I needed someone to show me everything

And I thought you could wait

Through my missteps and mistakes

I needed someone to say

That you'd be here anyway

When did you start to finally see

My melancholy habit

An affection for tragedy

Should've loved it when you had it

Everyday I'm gone

Breaking pieces off my memory

But you remember wrong

With the hope that

[Pre Chorus]

I can't let it go

I'm at the end of my rope

I needed someone to show me everything

And I thought you could wait

Through my missteps and mistakes

I needed someone to say

[Chorus x2]
