If it's O.K. with you, I'd rather just close my eyes.
If you could just avert yours,
Well I guess that'd be fine.
I know you try to hide it all by burying your face
The truth was hard to swallow
When all these sugar pills are fake.
I'm not giving up on you.
I would never give up on you, not tonight.
And all this mess is still real
You've got clean hands but you've spilled
The only truth which you've killed,
Tied up and left in a field.
You left me standing on air
Let's make this end crystal clear.
A kid with nothing to fear
You scarred and managed to scare.
I was there when you counted down
All the months and the years that you kept me around.
But it was never enough to throw me under a bus
But if you're wondering, I'm still wandering,
Searching for another girl who makes me feel a
Hell of a lot worse.
And I would never ever lie to you, girl
And how you know that I would die for you, girl
And if you even had the backbone
To tell an honest single word of truth
It might help.
