I Will Eat My Heart in the Morning Light

I'm not writing a song for the winter
I'm not singing a line for the spring
I'm not falling in the fall again
That's quite enough for me
And it's summer every time I fall asleep

No, I'm not going away
I'm not saying goodbye
Though, lover, I got troubles on my mind
Yeah, I know there must be better men
But I'm not the kind to hide
I will eat my heart in the morning light

I'm not yearning for some kind of yonder
I'm not searching for gods in the sky
'Cause, love, I see those lights in front of me
And I'm not about to cry
It's been like that since 1999

No, I'm not going away
I'm not saying goodbye
Though, lover, I got troubles on my mind
Yeah, I know there must be better men
But I'm not the kind to hide
I will eat my heart in the morning light
I will eat my heart in the morning light

I got no fiction to send to the future
Got no present to gift to the past
And I'm too low to stay this high, my guy
I sped up way too fast
You told me, "Take that memory slow and it'll last"

No, I'm not going away
I'm not saying goodbye
Though, lover, I got troubles on my mind
Yeah, I know there must be better men
But I'm not the kind to hide
I will eat my heart in the morning light
I will eat my heart in the morning light
