You taught me to laugh and I taught you to paint in dark blue
You looked at me and said there's got to be human in you
I'm a puzzle you spread out and tried to assemble
The pieces all jumbled but you can't remember
Just what made you take on the task
I was always afraid to ask
Goodnight Griffin
I know that you tried
Night falls short
I can't afford to cry
Take it all back, play your messages on looped repeat
Hidden inflections in whispers, please don't leave
Walking down streets of brick houses, this history
Not sentimental, but part of it twisting me
Never heard your voice so harsh
Until we dropped hands and retreated into dark
Goodnight Griffin
I know that you tried
Night falls short
I can't afford to cry
But you can't go taking back
What was lost in this attack
On the phone, we wait at home
But I will never cut this slack
But you can't go taking back
What was lost in this attack
On the phone, we wait at home
But I will never cut this slack
