i'm not where i was
when i last closed my eyes
wiping away the blur
letting the figures materialize
reality sets it in
the aches crawling under my skin
scatter under harsh light
but they're still eating away at me
what more could i want
butican'thaveyou
why can't i have you
whydoiloveyou
why cant i see you anymore
whycan'tiholdyou
why can't i kiss you
whycan'tiloveyouanymore
why can't i miss you

cause i do
and i always will
til the day that i die
and i was holding out for something
but i'm not seeing the light no more
as i'm closing up shop
and putting the last of it away
will you accept this token of my love
or will you spit in my face

if i try to say goodbye
though i guess i know the answer
it's hard to leave with nothing
and my feet and my hands hurt
though they've gotten me this far
but i think i'm ready to go to bed
so kiss my grey lips
and forgive me for the rest
of what's about to happen
