Can I ever forgive you for what you did to me?
Can I ever forget all those times when you spoke dishonestly?
Do you ever remember that quiet street we were on
When you told me you loved me, and the next day you were gone?
Did you ever think about me?
Did you ever write a song about me?
Did you ever believe I'd forget you
After we moved on?
Can you ever forgive me for all the things I've done?
Can you ever learn to live with the person I've become?
Do you ever remember that quiet street was all we had?
And I took it and broke it, all because I was mad?
Did you ever think about me?
Did you ever write a song about me?
Did you ever believe I'd forget you
After we moved on?
But did we ever move on?

Majestic creature are you, my friend
Better half left behind beside the road
Stuck to my car and pulled like gum
They say your insides could wrap around the globe
My stomach can only stretch from my bed
Down the stairs and into the bathroom
Like mud and gravel has filled my head
Mind swimming in a murky lagoon
Made it through the door
Crumpled to the tile
I think I might be here
For a while
Some nights I feel like I’m lacking
Some nights I feel your hands in my mouth
Pulling my teeth I find myself screaming
Just get out, get out
Just get out, get out
Pathetic creature are you, my friend
Disgraced, defiled, defaced
And petrified to the end
Checkered flag for a careless driver’s race
And now my head’s resting on my arm
Haven’t puked in a minute but I feel so near
And all I could want is to be warm
But I’m so comfortable right here
Porcelain gleam
Florescent flicker
Moving me would just
Make me sicker
Just come back later
You’re out of your depth
And I just want
To catch my breath
Some nights I need to go out to drink
Some nights I taste road kill in my mouth
Some nights I just wanna drown in my sink
So please, just get out, get out
Deer, inside out in the summer heat
You’ve been scratching at the back of my teeth
I’m just waiting for everyone that loves me
To realize they’ve lost their faith in me
It’s just like Mommy used to say
Baby you have to clean your plate
I deserve everything
That’s sprawled in front of me
It’s just like Mommy used to say
Baby you have to clean your plate

You'd think someone who's awoken
By your 3am calls as much as I've been
Would know what to say by now
I don't have time to save your life, then
I have work in four hours
No energy to pull you back from the brink
No funds for these funeral flowers
Only the dread for this drink
A quick song lyric on repeat
And I'm going back to sleep
I said I love you but I'm tired
I think I used to be admired
And if I knew that you would drown
A quick "please be safe" worn down
And I'm sorry for lying, like I always do
I'm sorry in advance for not saving you
Remember when you heard these words
So many times they lost all meaning
Well this street goes both ways
I've numbed myself and I'm still losing feeling
A quick Nike slogan reiterated
And I'm going back to bed
I said I love you but I'm tired
So unforgivably inspired
