so sink your teeth into this once more, can you taste the regret in the back of your mouth? was the dedication all you ever dreamed of? late nights spent making unfulfilled promises in the wake of making sure this wouldn't get resolved. now there's blood stains on my bed to match the cigarette burns that decorate my upholstery with oh so much character, so much character.


don't worry about regaining your composure, don't waste any more time on me if you don't wish to. wash away the memories, hands held underwater, now i wish the chlorine would have filled my lungs instead.


take another picture, light another flame, torch the edges watch the evidence fade away. let's find another shortcut i want to make this short and sweet, the last kiss the last hope the last wish, none were enough. now i'm struggling to make ends meet, crashing cars while racking my brain over why you won't talk to me. and now i've cemented your reasons by running my big mouth again.


don't worry about regaining your composure, don't waste any more time on me if you don't wish to. wash away the memories, hands held underwater, now i wish the chlorine would have filled my lungs instead.


who cares about the damage, i can deal with it. what i can't deal with is wondering why, wondering how this happened. insurance covers property damage but what covers emotional damage? but i guess that's what i get for laying my heart on the line, some say chivalry is dead but it's the thoughtless who murdered it. i'm still waiting for clarification on this tragic situation.


don't worry about regaining your composure, don't waste any more time on me if you don't wish to. wash away the memories, hands held underwater, now i wish the chlorine would have filled my lungs instead.


so i'll whine and complain and not resolve anything. it's worthless trying to walk when the quicksand is eating away at your solid ground. so lend me your hand and pull it away again when i need it the most while i sink deeper and deeper back into the earth. maybe there i'll finally find what i'm looking for. or maybe you'll start wondering where i've gone. i won't hold my breath until i pass out this time.


don't worry about regaining your composure, don't waste any more time on me if you don't wish to. wash away the memories, hands held underwater, now i wish the chlorine would have filled my lungs instead.
