lyrics

It's hard to watch you fade away
A little more with each passing day
It never crossed my mind, to stray from your side
When you were always on mine

Memories of us I always struggled to keep
Are lost in years worth of mispent weeks
But they're still vivid in my dreams
So I sleep when I want to, I sleep when I need you near

When that day comes
How can I figure myself out, when half of my souls in the ground
When that day comes
I know I won't hold out, so i'll sell the other half to the crowd

Never liked what i'd become, friend to some but loved by none yeah I was dumb
And as for my health, the beers and cigarettes won't drink and smoke themselves
I can't help myself

All I want is my conscience cleared

You say you've run your race an my heart quietly breaks
As I sit beside your bed, my hands clasped together, pleading your case
I'll repeat your mistakes, that's the path that I choose
But here's me hoping that the world treats me a little better than it did you
What's left to say? I'll hold down the fort while you're away and pray
That we'll see each other again somewhere someday
And when you're gone, you'll live on in my head
I'll never forget the last few words you said

Cuts on my feet, scars on my knees
The only souvenirs i'll keep
Hazy rooms, just you and me
The only air that I wanna breathe
I've wasted years, don't grieve for me
Just see all the places I didn't see
Walk it hard and keep no receipts
Cause in the end you've all the sleep you need

My heart gets caught on my sleep
When I know that you're leaving soon
