i always thought this was a dream
but i awoke hurting from my heartbeat
nightmares of falling through the holes in me
fell asleep with the phone to my head
like a gun- it won't ring, i lost the bulliets
singing "maybe tomorrow" to dead roses
hide from the sun so i can't see
all that beauty has done to me
i cut my wrists on shattered shadow dreams
i always thought you would be there
but how could you be if we were never
and now how can i face all these wasted years
listen close and you'll hear something die
another star burns out in the suicide sky
for every wish that never came to life
counting the things that i have left:
a used car lot heart- a sad laugh
and a rusty smile like the last house on the left

so tell me did i come on too strong
or did i just never belong
and if home is where the heart is
then why won't home return my calls
this is the longest song i've ever sung
because it just keeps going on and on
long after the last chord has rung
after the dance is done and the lights come back on

...and everyone's gone

i love you more then you will ever know
i love you so much but without any hope
and i die every night i spend alone
but i was never one to be good at goodbyes
so tell me if you think this one is nice
i would do anything for you even just let you go
