Greater Than Good

You would look for me
I would hide
You would call for me
I was salt in your eyes

You were nice enough to say
It's alright

I would lie to you
Don't know why
I would run to you
You were gentle and kind

Never lost your cool
Even when I set the house on fire

Put a spell on my pillowcase
With the smell of your lavender hair
It was torture

I would dance with you
Every night
I would fight with you
You would win every time

There's a calm in your head
That I can't find

You would reach for me
I would die
You would comfort me
I was only a child

Filled the bathtub with sand
So you could dig me out

Put a spell on my pillowcase
With the smell of your lavender hair

I've become what I most fear
Just another friend
That never leaves

What's greater than good
When good is all you have
What's better than hope
A little hope is not so bad
