forgive me

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
