lyrics

Well, my God what a night it’s been
Starting to break a sweat before the alcohol kicks in
I know I told you once, and I hope that I was wrong
But you never listen unless the words are in a song
The truth is I seek forgiveness for the things I’ve done
It’s so easy to be a man
But hard as hell to be a good one
In fact I’m surprised that I’ve made it this far
And just as disgusted as I am sure that you are

Does it bother you that your painting’s on my wall
And you’re not here
Does it bother you that I don’t sleep alone
And you’re not here

Should they bother me: the reds, the blacks, the grays
Staring back at me while I have nothing left to say
A picture’s worth a thousand words and this one screams in pain
I swear to god that I would write you back
If only I could paint

There. Is not a reason. To apologize.

But I pawned the necklace you threw back
In my face
To by her dinner then I took her back to my
Place
I laid her down on the bed that we used to share
And it felt so right, as if you were never
There.
