I hurt you deeply
We grow together
Struggle as one
Never apart but please
Understand that I'm 2 blame
Conscious or not
It doesn't matter
Okay, it was the latter.

Once more in the position
Role of the underdog
Proving that I'm worthy
Didn't have to be
Just because I packed away
The mind numbing chemicals
Doesn't make me a saint
So vulnerable, running for cover
Without a shelter to keep me warm
It's too damn easy for this tongue
2 drip with scorn
But this fear of intimacy
Is fit for a coward.

How many chances have you given me?
2 many to even realistically count
You've given up trying to convince me
That your intention was never to screw
With this weary head
Evidence is clear that I prefer
To be a drama king
Ready 2 sing when my defenses are threatened
With annihilation
Some body's gotta look good
Alas, be the victim
Ripping another happy home 2 shreds
Wishing it was this fool's instead
Our love ain't dead
I must pull this weight
2 put the breath of life
Into this rotting corpse
Whether or not
We believe in miracles
Or drape ourselves with magic
Work, logic and a little faith
Is what I'm after
Intent on seeing us through
2 the other side, joined at the hip
Instead of a hasty exit 2 places
Where I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy
Then again...
