Song

dropped to your knees in front of me

so drunk you could barely see

and your blind eyes cried

as you told me I'd

be your final chance to be set free

 

so

 

cloaked in ***** and a couple Quaaludes as I told you all my thoughts one night

and my shaky plans and my shaking hands seemed more fragile that I thought they might

running up my street with our fleet young feet when you took my hand in yours

and with certainty I could finally see what my God had made my hands for

 

(CHORUS)

clutching a bottle

empty hearts at full throttle

flying blindfolded down a rollercoaster of love

I've got you by my side, but I'm not sure you're enough

 

all my friends are gone as I write this song, and I'm not sure they'll be back

they got frightened, got mad, got sick , got sad, didn't want to see me crack

but you stood by me, though I couldn't see if it was because you cared

or because you, too, were alone and so getting out made you too scared

 

thought I'd gotten away until you found me today

thought I'd gotten away until you found me today

 

(CHORUS x2)

 

so I lie by you

and I hold you tight

every night feels like

it's our final night

 

so I die by you

hope that you die too

in the end my poison's

what I found in you
