I'm waking up from nightmares of your threats and complaints
You wish for more of my presence but I don't know if I should stay
I wish i could offer you my guidance but we can't all be saints
I'd like so much to be numb, but I guess I enjoy the pain
(Holding on to all we are)
I know you need so much more from me
but all I've done is hurt you
Lay me down in the grave I dug, At least I know I can trust you
To fill it up with dirt. Dear, please don't weep
I'm buried in the promises that I always failed
To Keep
I'm the bed where all your problems lay
Accusations of your presence you claim distressing
I know it's because I've been so distant lately
But I'm just trying to do what's bet for me
(Holding on to all we are)
So wipe your tears
I know it hurts so much
this is what's best for us lately
(Holding on to all we are)
So wipe your tears
I know it hurts so much
this is what's best for us lately
Through all the years
I'm so sorry I fucked it up
It's driving me crazy

Pulling Out

I've been struggling with myself
And my fears
I've been drowning my sorrows in
Glass bowls and beers
You used to call me your hero
But you haven't in years
I've been thinking about cutting my throat
With shards of this broken mirror
Because I can't stand who I see looking back at me
Please don't stay
I can see your heart breaking
Because of the man I've been lately
Hear me out, because I'm trying to change
I'm in bed face down against my pillow
Trying to suffocate the things about me
You have come to hate
I know you want me to be the bed
Where all your problems lay, but
I've never been a good listener
And I'm sure as hell no saint
Why can't you see
There's nothing but silence in
The distance between you and me
Hear me out because I'm trying to change
I'm in bed face down against my pillow
Trying to suffocate the things about me
You have come to hate
Pull me out because I'm poison for you
I don't want you to hurt more than you
already do
There's nothing but silence
in the distance between you and me
I'm sitting alone on a ship that's drowning at sea
I don't want you to feel like you have to save me

All day and all night I'm stuck up on old ties
I'm never coming home again
So are you sure this is what you want
Cut me with this knife and I'll be gone
You talk a lot about friendship for someone
Who's all alone
Say what you will
You know what I need
But I don't want anything from you
I'm never coming home again
All day and all night I'm stuck up on old ties
No this isn't what I want
I want so desperately to feel alive
and I swear to you one day I'll come back home
Say what you will
You know what I need
But I don't want anything from you

I drove home last night
Singing songs I know you don't like
And when I pulled in the driveway you weren't there
I'm making time and getting better
But nothing seemed more clear than the night you sanf
Nothing at all
I'm not sorry for what I've done
But I'm sorry it hurt you
I wish I couldn't look back when I've been
Trying to desert you
We couldn't justify each other
Two hearts made of stone
I didn't wanna be the reason you were sleeping all alone
And this is where we've fallen
But we will rise again
With our mast and sails all tattered
We'll make it without the wind
This is where we've fallen
But we will rise again with our
Heads held high
That hole that's in my pocket
The hole that's in my heart
One is always empty when the other one
Falls apart
You were looking up at me
And I was looking down
We were going out that night painting the reddest town
This is where we've fallen
But we will rise again
With our mast and sails all tattered
We'll make it without the wind
This is where we've falen
But we will rise again with our
Heads held high
I drove home last night
Singing songs I know you don't like
And when I pulled in the driveway
You weren't there
I'm making time and getting better
But nothing seemed more clear
Than the night you sang
Nothing at all
