lyrics

the last time that we met was at yr house
you werent very tired so you got drunk
so sat there, sober, and feeling really freaked out
but isnt that what being straight edge is all about
saw an suv pull in towards the garage
people that dont like me start to get out
and its not their fault that you were feeling down
but the drugs they brought were making you feel left out

so you went under... i felt nothing
you were dancing by yrself before you asked me to come closer
i sat down... the stairwells empty
i was worried that you'd never come around

but it was almost midnight and you were talking
to that guy who bought you ecstasy and the other small white pills
you took him by the hand and pulled him closer
its like summer all over again: he starts to whisper in yr ear
he says, "i bet yr good at what you do...
take me to yr bedroom, i can make you feel brand new"
but then you close yr eyes and let him go
he just stands there disappointed [be]fore he tells you hes going home

we're alone again, record spinning, static playing
and im way too tired to drive myself back home
we were sleeping on the couch inside the back room
nightmares blaring in the center of my skull... (oh)

if i wasnt so depressed all of the time...
i'd make you feel a million things ive never felt in my life
if i could just control my broken mind...
i would stop thinking about you and start trying to feel alive
if i wasnt so lazy all the time...
well id build myself a wall to keep the evil out
and leave my shitty past all behind and
if you weren't so fucked up all of the time...
id tell you that yr something that ive never seen before
and if i say i never loved you, im lying.
