lyrics

well are you sitting down now, boy?
in my career know
i'm batting oh for two
can i offer a cliche?

life's tearing down around you
with every foothold
you used to trust ain't true
share the truth, or
show everyone a lie?

well are you listening now, boy?
your pain's a mirror
is my turn overdue?
if you'll take this thought in trust

what you saying now,
speaking of, boy?
if you can't make
what chance do i hold to?
are my odds too overwhelming?

it seems so simple
what other choice did we have
except love?
then everything gets tangled
we're left holding the gun

it's not your fault
it's not his fault
but what else can we do but talk?

we got the scars
guess that's a start

how every page we turn's
another paper cut to dodge
we kiss to heal the damage
taste of blood lingers

it seems so simple
what other choice did we have
except love?
then everything gets tangled
we're left holding the gun

it's not your fault
it's not my fault
so what else can we do but talk
every night?
