Poppies and Peonies

I wanted you to need me
 and I wanted to need you
 But the days they proved different:
 took action for truth
 It's plain it wasn't in the cards for you and for me
 'cause you can't live off laughter and luxury
 When you couldn't be loved
 you were left with feared
 Passed admiration contempt is reared
 Considered all the things i had with you
 Considered all the things i had to do
 I wanted you to need me
 and I wanted to need you
 But the days they proved different:
 took action for truth
 It's plain it wasn't in the cards
 for you and for me
 'cause you can't live
 off laughter and luxury
 You spin your web of sorrow and dreams
 Your life's a poem, or so it seems
 One too many drunken nights,
 One too many unfeathering fights
 I wanted you to need me
 and I wanted to need you
 But the days they proved different:
 took action for truth
 It's plain it wasn't in the cards
 for you and for me
 'cause you can't live
 off laughter and luxury
 So move on, move in, move out
 There's a light that lurks in the shadows of doubt
 Carry on, carry in, carry out
 In this action is what you carry about
 So I found a girl who needed me
 and you know I need her too
 And it's plain that it's all in the cards for her and for me
 'cause you cant live off love, laughter and luxury
 Yes, you can live like poppies and peonies
