She was looking for permanence,
Not a place to own, but a place where she could rest,
Without the sound of violence or the aftertaste of cigarettes
It was a dream she could never afford, nor ignore
She's leaving, He's bleeding
He was a nervous boy, who became a troubled man.
Too many things that he could never understand,
Still he'd hope for the finer things, the finer things
And make believe that he could be anything
And this is how she was told to love, with open legs and ignoring her heart
And this is how he was spoken of "boy you were never wanted from the start"
So they hold too tight to each other, and hope they can weather the storm
Yeah they held too tight to each other - and found a place to belong
She was never remarkable, and he was nobodies son
Somebody found them there, with the pills and the blood.
