the next time you break down
make **** sure its not me you flag down
you take more than you give
baby you die more than you live
I played the role of your shadow, ever so faithful
there to kiss your lonely shoulder, though you were never grateful
cherish this second, call me beautiful
because when I walk away its going to be painful
you fool, you fool, you fool
but what can you do?
some were born to build
you were born to ruin
to consume
to leave everything drifting in plumes
so I tell myself not to forget
to remember to count the steps
each its own victory
each rewrites our history
when you come stumbling after me
you can find me in your dreams
