City nights on rain-soaked streets
when I was just a boy.
Walking our familiar beats
was I more than just your toy?
I knew you were the one sure thing
between me and all the lies
but angels will no longer sing
once you've taken out their eyes
You always said I screwed things up
always seemed to let you down
I spilled your overflowing cup
just enough to let you drown
I just spent 12 days in county
I'd really like a cigarette,
and for you to stop bitching at me.
Which, I noticed, hasn't happened yet.
It's been nine long years and counting
since I left for God knows where
but when I showed up on your doorstep
you looked so glad to see me there.
You couldn't seem to get enough
Through the blood, and pain we're bound
Now I can see how it was tough
to drive me into the ground
You used to be the only thing
between me and sure demise
But with a broken halo, sword, and wing
you still ignored my cries
Guess it hurts a little less
that you asked if I'm all right
but I still can't shake the feeling
that you're leaving me tonight
'cause I can't resurrect the feelings
that you claim were always there
but all that died so long ago
it must be hard to pretend you care
I only did just what you told me
and I tried with all my might
I only wanted you to hold me
and be forever in your sight.
