lyrics

Standing in his shadow
I wanted laughter I wanted life
It's easier to play the part
That somebody else writes.

I was not but sixteen
When I first gave my heart away
It was easy as it's ever been
To sell all that I saved

Seventeen brought several things
I couldn't read it's cards
My hero took a misplaced bet
And emptied out my jar

I called my girl, just one last time
Cast reason to the stars
The fall from grace
Had never felt so far


Passing through the summertime
I'll try my luck again
All across her universe
Felt like I was fitting in

All the while through college
I'm fighting mind and heart
I wanted everything and all the time
That shouldn't be too hard.

Finally, the truth came out
I'd been living with a lie
The years stored up in my account
Drained in a single night

Sitting in my basement
Razors, stable in my hand
Three times I've been emptied
Now, God, is this a plan?


So you can see why, I feel like,
The less that I feel, the higher I fly
The better I stand, when falling the sky
I tired of loosing the keys and joy to my pride
It's high time, I hold little more than nothing so tight
If I give anyone
the keys to my mind,
When they decide,
it's time to goodbye,
Will Bonnie and Clyde turn into Jekyll and Hyde?
And I slide back to my poison inside?
These voices inspire me to trench in and abide
If no one's nearby to hurt you then you're doing it right.
Or is that just the lies, protecting my pride?
The last thing I want them to see, is me, huddled up in the corner starting to cry.


See my love is my weakness I keep on lockdown
Some days I'm not sure that's it's really helped me out.
When I'm fighting with these feelings till the sun goes down,
I just wake up so wound up; ready lash to out.

I know that I don't love you the way that I should
My Achilles heel guarded like a block in the hood
These crooked withdraws are part of what shook
Me to my knees, might just be a stoic for good

But you're my world girl,
You and those four little cures
I gotta lot figure out but I'm willing to learn
And let you love me
And not be
so hard to live with
And ugly
Trust me, to turn over these dead leaves

I'm working on my faults, like every single morning
brushing my teeth, your Espresso warming
I'll keep working, on this routine
Until you know what I've got to give is yours to keep.
