Same old story
Blame the infected head
No-name decaying territory
With the familiar dead
Haunted by the ghosts of my past
Each one worse than the last
But she wears the crown
Unable to cope
I had to skip town
Nothing good happens with you around
The worst feeling isn’t being alone
It’s being alone because no one cares
You barely did
Just splintered bones
With broken promises to spare

Sick of hiding what I want
Or who I’m not
You stacked the deck
Didn’t plan on being caught
Finally showed my cards
So you bet it all on a Jack
Send my regards
I still have that ace
Almost twenty one and I miss the chase
Knew you’d run for the hills
She’s the next Houdini
Sticking needles in bloodshot eyes
Anything for her fix of cheap thrills
Strike three, quit cashing in lies
Can’t use me any longer
We all know that body pays your bills

O**ver thinking life
Second guessing love
Almost doubting anything above
Still thinking of you
Believed in me from the start
The first to care
And how you won my heart
Constantly looking for a life to share
Nothing compares
I’ve read us cover to cover
Over and over
Smile at every torn up page
Forever regret hitting disengage
Maybe someday our story has another chapter
But I’m living for the moment now
Someday may as well be forever
