Anyone's Ghost - Hypothetical End lyrics

I wanted him to say "I know you've been scared of love and what it did to you." I am a bludgeoned, dark, vindictive thing Covered in feathers and bleeding I am allowed resentment Only when it's gentle My anger is a handkerchief Waving goodbye from a train And what if I wanted to stay Even if it hurts me? Won't you tell me you love me Even if it's a lie? I'm willing to believe There's a version of you that ends up with me With a 9 to 5 job and unopened bills Lying forgotten on the countertop I will allow myself grief And hope I come back empty handed Possession was a victory I give up on being owned All those big black bears They're just little dogs, really Once you get to know them Growling about death but not meaning it And I meant it when I said I would stay Even though it hurts me When you tell me you love me And I know it's a lie I'm willing to believe That if I could fix everything wrong with me Not as bold as I'd hoped It would never be enough Would it be different If I fell at your feet And begged to you, please Please don't leave me? If everything that happens Is from now on Would it be so wrong? Even if it's a lie?
