Caroline
The Thomas Baker Band Lyrics

Well here we sit, me and you
We are both present in this moment

Martyr one, and martyr two
We are both suffering in this situation

Two lives lost, and you make three
Our relationship is causing both of us pain and destruction

God I pray for my release, have sympathy
I wish for a way out of our toxic relationship and hope for compassion from a higher power

Well it will kill you if I go
Leaving this relationship will be difficult for you

But it's killing me to stay
Staying in this relationship is causing me great harm

Your lies are wrapped around my feet
Your deceitful behavior is holding me back

And your fucking with my brain
Your manipulative ways are affecting my mental health

And martyr's we are, in this love affair
Our love has become something painful and tragic

I'm drowning on dry land, fighting for air
I feel overwhelmed and suffocated in this relationship

So Caroline please, rest in peace
I hope this relationship comes to a peaceful end

Now I lay me down to grief,
I am filled with sorrow and despair

My pills help me count the sheep
I rely on medication to help me sleep

I hope I die, before I wake
I am in so much pain that I wish for death

But its five am, and morning breaks
Another day begins despite my despair

Well I saw you, across the bar
I met you and was attracted to you

Could this night be real
I wondered if this moment was genuine

And there must be cold blood
I thought you must lack empathy to make me feel the way I do

Running through your veins
I believe your personality is the reason for my pain

To make me feel, the way that I feel
Your actions have caused me great emotional distress

And these last few weeks
Time has moved slowly in this situation

Have past so slow
The days have felt longer than usual

It feels like twenty years
Each day has felt like a lengthy lifetime

Without one word from your lying lips
Your lack of honesty has made this situation worse

To ease my greatest fears
I hoped you could provide comfort and reassurance

So I stepped outside and I started to cry
I was overwhelmed with emotion and needed to leave the situation

I really don't know why
I am unsure why I feel this way

Still God knows I could never
I am aware that it is impossible for me to

Read your truth, between your lies
Discern your honesty from your dishonesty

And martyr's we are, in this love affair
Our love has become something painful and tragic

I'm drowning on dry land, fighting for air
I feel overwhelmed and suffocated in this relationship

So Caroline please, rest in peace
I hope this relationship comes to a peaceful end

So Caroline please, rest in peace
I hope this relationship comes to a peaceful end
