lyrics

Just like the tide we fade away
And save ourselves for another day
And how come that when it’s raining the sun never comes out to play?

My eyes are wide open
I’m patiently hoping that
Youll never meet another guy like me,
You’ll never meet another guy like

I’ll try to run again
You swept my feet right out from under me
Before you ran to Tennessee
Sifted across the ground
Every letter you wrote for me
I’d be better off dead
Not like you’d notice anyway

If I die today
Would you suddenly love me?
Im finding a home
At the bottom of this lake
And if I die today
Would you suddenly hate me
For finding a home
At the bottom of this drink

All I needed was your hand
Just a moment of your time
What a waste of empty space
A broken clock that can't rewind
Every now and then
I dream of what we used to be
The only one who saw the good in me
You stole my heart, now can I have it back
I’m still collecting pieces of a broken past

Right back to where we start
It's your turn, lay down, fall apart
I'll be there to fix you when you’re hurt
But I can't take
But I can't take too much more of this
Please tell me, please tell me
you did not forget
About the times we
Stayed out way too late
Struggled hard to make rents pay
Who would've thought that we
Would end up this way

If I die today
Would you suddenly love me
Finding a home
At the bottom of this lake
And if I die today
Would you suddenly hate me
For not coming back
You see I’m not coming back
I said I’m not coming back again
