A breath of honesty from these lying lips. I will sing again.

I got dead bugs on my windowsill
I guess they should've stayed away
I got bird shit on my windows too
and a leak I fixed with packing tape
A dead man haunts my dreams at night
he says "I thought you loved me true"
Been running from him for so long
but I think that he will catch me soon
I don't understand how the world could be so small
that all I see reminds me of you
and I don't understand how I could drive for so long
and still not escape the ghost of you.
I cannot accept the simple fact that you are gone
and I killed a man, I killed a man, I swear
Didn't mean to do it but that doesn't make it right
oh, I killed a man, there's nothing you can say.

Did you think about your mother
when you sat in that garage?
Were you hoping that you'd never be forgot?
Well I hope you've found you got just what you want.
And if there's one thing that I've learned
it's how to run away from you
It's how to teach myself to never think again
about who I wish I'd be or what I'd do.
Please don't say I didn't love you,
I loved you more than I could bear.
I guess I thought it would be easier
to mend your broken heart without me there.
And if I had a single wish
I'd wish you right back here again
and though I couldn't say I'd change a single thing,
oh I wish I could at least have been your friend.
Did you think about your mother
when you sat in that garage?
Were you hoping that you'd never be forgot?
Well I hope you find you got just what you want.
