Obscurity

As the days draw to a close, the angst builds up.

Head underwater
And they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even
I know that
Made room for me;
it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
Unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this
hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one,
you see
I'm not gonna write you
a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
Or you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin',
Imma need a better reason
To write you a love song today, today, yea

I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you
And your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

Convince me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you
hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one,
you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin',
Imma need a better reason
To write you
a love song today

(Sara Bareilles)

Only instead of 'writing' you to stay, it's the other way round.

The Scream by Edvard Munch (How aptly done)

"Hello to high and dry..."

I could be wrong, but the song is about a girl who was fed up with someone, right? Yeah so just replace someone with some place and perhaps the meaning might just 'ping'. :D
