Use to think about sitting with you down at the bridge,
use to dream about the times where we would kiss and
every breath I took I fell in love with you over and over,
like a sad roller coaster getting ready to fall off the rails.

Trying to forget the past like every human being,
but every human being don't wanna forget,
like That friend that stole all your friends,
that same friend that sat there and told you friends to the end,
what did he do? didn't Recognize you again,
Now lets get something straight,
Didn't your mom ever tell you to worry about you and no one else,
not even your spouse,
This world is so bat-**** insane that everything is corrupt now,
so much bad order in this country they expect you to bow down,
yeah your trust,
is a no no,
licensed gun,
make it so so,
No lives matter obviously,
I don't know,
where to go go,
scared of death,
not scared to face it,
looking for a way out of the matrix,
I could care less about the systems wealth,
save your self.

What is the antidote?
This is something I desperately need to know.
Please just help me.
I'll get you anything
diamonds, rings, and
big shiny things.

What? You don't know?
It says it right here on your card
plus you told me so.
Oh no.
Now I'm stuck
in this rut.
I really needed this antidote.

I got butterflies hearing it
You got drunk and told me in a smokey bar
Earnestly, clumsily, but in the dearest way
You don't remember
You weren't quite ready
It wasn't how you wanted to do it

So we pretend you haven't told me yet.

I've wanted to tell you in so many smokey bars
On street corners when we're walking
In bed in the early morning
In the shower, suds covered, soaked and laughing
In my kitchen, dancing and spinning me around
On grocery trips and in speeding cars.

You haven't told me yet
But I'm bursting to tell you again

Don't magnify your weaknesses.

You sometimes tell me I can't love,
Really? Wow. Good to know.
You sometimes tell me I don't want,
Really? Thanks, well now I know.

You sometimes think you know what's right,
And what I'm supposed to do,
Really? Great! I'll really take
The things you're giving me to do.

You sometimes think you have more info
On my life more than yours,
Really? Wonderful. Please do tell
What my life seems to tell.

You know me, and so you always say
You know of all my character,
You somehow think that you could be
The ambassador of my character.

Great, oh grand! What wonderful news,
I've always wanted to be
Told that someone else knows me
More than I know me.

They say people come and go.
Do they see the pawns they got left behind
My words  are left on  the ground

Life can beat you down to  you are nothing
We have fallen but some can't find a  way to  get back up
My body is cut  from the inside with the  mistakes of  the past

Open your  eyes look deep inside
A story is waiting to be told
Leave the pain behind to move forward
But what will we have to think about
We play this game called cat and mouse
