That's one I don't really have a perfect song for, as it happens. I tend to listen for shades of it in mentor-type songs but there aren't many.
So my answer is quite embarrassing, but the one that came to mind is Lua by Bright Eyes.
When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend... The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit.
And I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me I'm not a gamble you can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist.
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black You just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is such a drag...
And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is What's so simple in the moonlight, now is so complicated What's so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight
I can really feel it as a Snape song, where he's kind of hopeless from all his years of spying and he can see how Draco is fraying under the pressure of being a Death Eater, but they're fucking regularly and it's simple then. And he's sort of telling himself he doesn't mind that Draco's in love with him and he still can't save the boy. It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live.
