How I waited back on the corner
For you to make me see straight again
I could steal your heart and pictures
But I dont think its getting better
you swore that it'd be alright but it's not
you swore that you'd be alright but you're not
and I'm sorry about it
I'm just tired of wasting time
I killed another one tonight
I cant stop myself from crying
I killed another girl tonight
I just cant help myself anymore
Your dad swore you would be fine goddamn he lied
Your mom said stop calling nights, at least sometimes
Your graves never looked as good as it does in the daylight
I'm tired of wasting time
I'm tired of wasting time
It's october 22nd now
It's been three days since I saw it
It's october the 22nd now
It's been three years since you left me for below
Your dad swore you'd be fine but god he lies
Your mom said stop calling nights Andy, at least sometimes
Your graves never looked as good as in morning and May light
And I'm tired of wasting times on a body that has no life, on a rythm that has no rhyme
tonight.
