Daniel's Book

I’ve seen your life and it looks pretty cool
You’ve ticked all those boxes
And stayed in school
You had those kids you always talked about
One has your eyes, the other your mouth
I’ve seen those looks when I go out to smoke
Its only myself I’m killing you know
I’m old at heart but young in my bones
I’d tell you the truth but you already know
Do it by the book Daniel
All these friends
How they put you through hell
All I know is to lose what I find
I dont want to change you
So just change your mind
You talked of your nan
And those halcyon times
I’ve just noticed we never talked of mine
I thought you should know
That she lost her mind
But I’m too tired to talk
Of all the things that I’ve loved
Do it by the book Daniel
All these friends
How they put you through hell
All I know is to lose what I find
But I’m too tired to talk
Of all I’ve loved and I’ve lost
I dont want to change you
So just change your mind
