I’m pretty sure you just said it
but your words get lost in mine
pretty sure you said it for the last time
and the letters just bunch there’s never enough
so I forget it and you move on
there’s no more air we all just get crushed
I’m pretty sure you said it for the first time
but your words get lost in the dark corner of my mind
stashed away like the bodies in my wall
belonging to those who have done me wrong
I don’t understand your words they fade into the
background of the conversations surrounding us
so I ask you one more time
you just shyly smile and say “no don’t worry it’s fine”
I’ll watch as you leave me with people squashed shoulder to shoulder
smothering me in their sweat
oh won’t you save me from this hell hole
won’t you return to me like you said you would
like a lost and lonely bird with broken wings and broken pride
I walk in a daze down the streets looking at the fog and fallen leaves
looking to get lost when the clock strikes one so I don’t have to strike out in threes
I get lost in the eyes of the dimming street lights
the glow reminds me of those eyes that once were set upon mine
I sleep all day no there’s no point in getting up
no new surprises just a couple of cigarettes and the stench of Jack
there’s no point in getting up
just a couple of cigarettes and the taste of Jack
now that gets me through another lonely day without you.
