What a bitter end for the trumpet call to cue
You're counting the days shot down by the cherub's bow
As a heroine was getting close
And this photograph is proof of the times spent
Before you let me down
And as days go by, I'm not growing younger
I don't want you to go to London
Because I'm not going with you
And it's been said before
That as I sketch, this paintbrush does you no justice
And this photograph is proof of us lying asleep, yet wide awake
But she knows

You say words can only complicate
I tried harder than you ever could
You say what really matters anyway is
I heard something deafening
You couldn't even help yourself
I can't imagine being someone else
But you try, and not everyone's that cunning
Just try to dig yourself out of this mess
And you say you're all so different
But it's got nothing left to do with it
I knew more or less that this would be the end
You say words can only complicate
I tried harder than you ever could
You say what really matters anyway is
These old rhymes, placed in their complex new directions
They're only getting more cliche, more each day

I've been through the high and driving rain
Just to get myself a little closer
To assert what's mine, but in juxtaposition
I felt so honest and cruelly so
But it's hard to get by on broken lungs
So tell me if you could is this something you would love
Every night when you're think about this moment
So tell me baby is there something more than this basement room
I'll tell you if you left all the things that I would do
I'm tearing out my hair so I could write
So tell me baby
And I say you try a bit too much,
and I say don't underestimate me
I've been through this unsuspecting war
and found myself just a little colder
than I could ever remember, and I said
I cant hate this song half as much as I could hate you
Tell me now, is this all you have to give

If it's in your capacity, forgive me
Cause maybe I'll forget
I think you're longing for your family
And that might be for the best and well
It's not the way that you'd keep it all in your head
Cause you're not convincing
I realize that at this point the love we bear is an awful weight
We stayed and danced by the moonlight
To a song on the jukebox, that I hoped that you would like
and it's like I'm leaving everything right here in Atlanta
I'll stay right here in bed with you if only time would let us
And I tried to give you all the best of me
I was an awkward little kid, who tried to hard to give you everything
And I'd fight off every doubt in the back of your head, if you would let me
There's some things I can't control, though I wish it realistically
And I told you not to come with me
You're not my failure's responsibility
And I can't make an honest girl of you
If you're out there living my dreams
And I can't take you on that stage with me
So I won't blame you if at any point you decide
It might be best to leave
And I know you weren't listening
And it's hard
To tell you I was wrong after everything
And I know you won't forgive me
You said it best, you said it
And I'll pray, that I make up for all of these mistake
It's an awful mess that I've made
And I'll take that to my grave
