There's still room for you in here if you're looking for a place to lay your head
And forget about the noise instead
of being up until late turning in your bed
wondering where the *******'re gonna go next.

I'll leave my balcony light on so you know I'm awake
Wondering if it's due to drugs, alcohol, or heartache.
But make no mistake—
It's not you I'm waiting for
Even though my clothes are on the floor
I'm begging you for more
Swore I forbore
But I can't take being without you anymore

So I go back to you

Wave the white flag in this war
I know you're unsure
And I'm labeled as your *****

But who else in this ******* world will you adore?

Find another girl that ***** you like I do
That will let you turn her ivory black and blue.
Find another girl who will listen to you talk
And will take you to the end of the sidewalk

Who will ask what your mothers like
And at what age did you learn to ride a bike
And when did you trade in the handle bars for all those scars?

And who was the first girl you ever loved?
And did she love you back?
And did that throw your life off track?

And who's the one that got away?
Did she run? Walk? Or end up astray?

"Take me back to that first May," I'd say.
When you'd find me, looking for an ashtray
Please stay.
D e l a y
I'm not okay!

I'm living off a pack a day
and your foreplay is better than Chardonnay.

All I have is this empty space I am offering you.

Come back, I'm sorry...
...I got caught
At least I'm being honest!
You never liked me for being modest.

Remember the thrill I stirred in you?
Like fire and powder which as we ****** ignited
Got me hot, wet and excited
My moans to you I recited

**** this love unrequited.

This isn't what I meant when I said I liked it rough.
I'm sorry I acted tough
But you saw right through my bluff

Like my mom when I faked a cough
After she found out I was addicted to codeine.
I was only sixteen.
So sick, but not the type you can cure with a vaccine.

And here I am complete and brand new.
I was willing to get my **** together for you
And I don't mean life goals and ambition
Didn't your hear? Law school gave me admission.

And I gave you contrition
My loyalty to you I would have sworn without condition
And here I am, against my own volition

Pride comes before the fall
And If you listen I promise to tell it all
I'll abstain from alcohol
You'll take the place of my withdrawal

I'll even learn about American Football
We can sit together on Sundays
Exchanging clichés
And even though they're meant for driving slow we'll hit one hundred and nine on the freeways

Anyway,
Let me rephrase

If you have to go
you can go.

But it'd be a whole lot better if you stayed.
