fell asleep wishing I were somebody else,
woke and breathed with a sigh
trying to remember
to forgive myself
but this is neither the place
or the time
entertain the notion that comes back in my head
like i'm actually telling the truth
lived a bunch of lies and the promises said
until I broke them for you


stores won't close
cause you're not around
standing on her tip toes
you're so close
never coming down
an inch rising rose oh rose,
try to stay in today

grasping for a bottle
it'll save you the pain
if you take a pill or two
forcing out a smile
that hangs around for a while
until you're out of blues
maybe someday we can try
to be happy with what we've got
someday oneday I think I might
actually love you.
