Deadbeat Sweetheart lyrics

You left without a sound.
Ten thousand questions to the answers I never found.
Youre not around,
and Im left to chase ten thousand answers for yesterday.
Like: How could I be so removed in the background waiting for you?

And what do we have? What do we have?
What do we have if we dont have each other?

You left me here to count ten thousand questions to the answers.
Id rather drown.

Babys got a new best friend.
He always seems to understand,
and he knows just how to make her laugh.
Hes rich and white and full of influence.
Babys never felt so fine. Shes wading in the well of life.

I wonder does she ever look back
and still remember when things were so much better?
Kiss baby bye forever now.

Baby never calls me now.
She dont need a past to dream about,

Lets sing a song to end the world. No, Im not kidding.
I said my prayers, or so I said, and nothings hidden.
Lets sing a song for only us, cause no one else matters as much.
Lets sing it strong, and sing it proud.
I dont know any better sound than that.

Drown with me tonight. Forget the world the around you.
Ill sing to you softly til you drift to sleep.

Its a ghost town baby.
It will drive you crazy when you rely on all your friends.
Ive seen people sucked in.
Theres no way to them from becoming walking dead.
Youre still living, but barely breathing. Get out while you can.

Just drive away cause no one here will save you.
Drive away and dont look back. Youre gone.

Its a ghost town sister.

I fight to make you stronger, to make you love your life.
I fight to show you purpose, to keep you satisfied.
I fight to make you happy. I war to win your heart.
Id fight forever for you. I ache when were apart.

Im fighting for us. My heart is a soldier.
Im killing myself. My heart is a soldier marching to die.

I fight to stay together, to bring us eye to eye.

I know youre dying to tell me everything that you want to say,
but Im not listening.
Try to tell me everything that you want to say.
I know youre trying to force me. Feed me lies but Im on my way.
Can you taste it now?
Im dying to watch your face when I walk away.

Heres the final bullet to put our love to death.
Our days are never coming back.

Its almost laughable how life tends to spit us out
after beating us down like it did before.
Its almost laughable how it rains and it pours again
as we stand here soaking it all in.
Well if this is how life is, I wont back down from it anymore.

Dont hang me out to dry. Im not all right, but Im not stopping now.
Dont turn the music down. Its not all right, but you cant stop me now.

Youre not who you used to be, or at least not to me.
A ghost on a movie screen is what you seem.
Now youre the one to let the sun fall down
like a stone in a river.
You steal the blood inside of me. I cant bleed.

This is a lovesong for the loveless and the hopeless.
You can be certain that Im with you when I sing.
This is a lovesong for the desperate and the lonely.

You got away with murder and all I got was the brunt.
You were swinging you words like punches.
It was your shot, your shot, your shot.
At least I got away with your money, and all you got was my heart.
Im never telling you that Im sorry,
cause its your fault, your fault, your fault.

But now that youre gone everything is all right.
In fact Im better off this way.

Dont hold back. You gotta believe. You got it. You got it. You need it.
Dont be afraid of anything. You got it. You got it. Believe it.
Come on now. Dont say, Maybe. Hold your breath. You got it. You need it.
Hold on tight now for the ride of your life. You gotta believe it.
Words hurt. Truth heals. Sometimes both kill.
