how long can you be who you were

before you infer that the curse that made things worse

was how easily hurt I was by the dirt

that you cast upon my name

whose to say whose to blame

we were incredibly to ready to react

tense like a rubber band abound to snap

i’d try if I could to take it back

but I said what I said and you said what you said

and there’s no delete button in each others head

so I make money slowly but steady

to stay all right

but I still call your name from my bed every night

but when im deepest asleep thats when I feel free

no longer caged by the need to have you near me

but its not cuz im over my addiction to you

its just in my dreams after all we been through

it wasnt enough to tear us in two

and I would wake up with you as my wife

if my imagination could only rewind real life

the stories we keep are matter of mind

how long do we weep of sadder times

slashin our wrist with a blade that cuts lines

coked up and broke as we choke on our cries

I cant deny how much I despise

the idea of putting more tears in your eyes

after all of these years I can finally surmise

maybe I wasnt always a good guy

but I pay many ways for the shame ive obtained

and I rehears what i’d say if I could plead my case

my scabs become scars but hey thats ok

that I prey every day that I feel the suns rays

that the one that I love is no longer in pain
