Saint Jude

I called your name on the grayest day

You're the only one who

Ever listened anyway

And it taught me something I guess I already knew

I still want you

Cause we touched like my dream come true

That the tree beside my father's house would bloom

And fill his yard up with its sweet perfume

And hide the scars I carved in its arms for you

I make mistakes, then I'm on my way

Lock him out and the dog will finally stray

Join the vandals

They just want to be listened to

They just want proof

But I have been a liar and a fool

I can forget anything I want to except for the

Image of you in your bedroom where your body

Lies but your eyes can't hide the truth

The night I left, come on, you were

Grateful for the news

You never wept, just undressed and slept til noon

A secret kept it a lover left unmoved, and so I lose

I can't balance my brain

Its like a tightrope come loose

I'm tied to the train tracks like a desperate cartoon

Or I'm bare and I'm blank, if I could pray I would thank saint jude

A lost cause too
