Stricks and Stones lyrics

I can't remember the time or place,
or what you were wearing,
it's unclear about how we met,
all I know it was the best conversation that I've ever had,
to this day I never found someone,
with eyes as wide as yours,
I've been searching up and down this coast,
overlooking what I need the most

did you notice I was afraid
I thought I'd run out of things to say,

Can we pretend for one second that we are together,
What's the point of keeping my feelings at bay,
It takes alot of me,
To get the nerve to wake up,
Everyday,

And what if I don't,
Would you even care,
Would you even care,

Forget everything that we have done,
Erase me,
From your memory,
Don't call,
Don't ask about me until the day hell freezes over,

I figured all the years we shared were proof enough
to extend my hand and help you
I know that getting started can be rough
Enthused smile, you seemed grateful
I felt real good about myself
That's until the day you showed me
You dont need anybody else...

Why'd you have to go
And make me say these things about you
Why'd you have to turn around
After all that we've been through

I thought I'd write you something to remember me by,
A commemorative for the two years you spent by my side,
But every day is a new mistake,
A new song to be written and erased,
Why would you listen anyway,

Finally I'm going on with my life,
What a big mistake it was saving all my good-byes,

I'm not the type of person to get over it,

I'm sick of smiling
And so is my jaw
Can't you see my front is crumbling down
I'm sick of being someone im not
Please get me out of this slump
I'm sick of clapping
When I know I can do it better for myself
I'm sick of waiting
Sick of all these words that will never matter

I'll wire these nerves together
Hoping for a chance to think on time
And I'm tracing over your letter

I’m drunk off your kiss
For another night in a row
This is becoming too routine for me
But I did not mean to lead you on
And it’s all right to pretend
That we still talk
It’s just for show, isn’t it?
It’s my fault that it fell apart

Just maybe
You need this
And I didn’t mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what I've started

I'm cracked from my head down to my spine
Ready to Self-Destruct at any time
And I'm trying to convince myself
That the way I feel is all I have
It could take a lifetime
To realize that you're alright

But she said
"I'd know when you would come back"
It's been a summer

It's burning up in here
Even thought the bed is cold on your side
I'd rather die
then spend this night here without you

living with me
I don't think it would be so bad
this is the first time this year
that I'm not going to make you mad
I'm tired of my conscious
always telling me to stop slipping in
but I can't waste a second
on trains that will never begin

everyone has a head upon their shoulders
we're losing our pride as we all get older
everyone has to become their saviors
you might not get it right

I've never felt so bad in my entire life
But this time i did it to myself
What do u expect from me
I did it
So what do u expect from me

Let go of my hand
Is it time to go
I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet
I'm not going to let you down
Let you down

September came so quickly
I wasn't prepared
I didn't mean to miss your birthday
What do u expect from me
I did it

Before you jump down my throat
I'd like to present you with
Something I call personality
Word travels fast when you're on the road
I'd like to think what I have is real

Sort this out on your own time
You ought to sort this out on your own time

Before you jump to conclusions
About all the friends I have
Just remember they were born that way
Word travels fast when her name's involved

I've been waiting for a good day
I've been holding back long enough
I've been hurting to tell you some things
it's not the falling of the temperature
that's making all our bones run cold
it's the breeze you make
the presence felt when you're around me

and it feels like I'm at an all-time low
slightly bruised and broken
from our head on collision
I've never seen this side of you

tell all my friends I'm dead
I'm leaving you, this time its for good
tell all my friends that I'm dead
it won't be long before you forget my name

can you tell
that I'm losing myself
I think I'm trying too hard to
let it show
to let you know
so trace your footsteps back to me

cause I've been gone for a long time
waiting on the sidelines
hoping for a chance to play

All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Thirty seconds till I pass
The questions you will never ask
Your regrets will haunt you
You know I never had to

But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will change your ways

I went to your house
But you weren't home

I'm sorry
I heard about the bad news today
A crowd of people around you
Telling you it's okay
And everything happens for a reason

When you lose a part of your self
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
Pictures fade away but memory is forever

An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seeing you when all my days boil down
