Another Day

Here's another day' she waits and pulls herself away

at just the right moment to save her face

I watch the time go ticking down' the waters falling on the ground

I catch myself and try to speak with grace

you needed just enough anger' to get you through the door

and you got just enough honesty' to make you want a little more

I wish for nothing but the rain' to fall and wash away

everything that I've done wrong' find a way to make you strong

if only for another day

when I'm all alone' just me and my ghosts

standing three deep' just like sentries at their post

they make sure I remember' just a little more than most

they make sure that I understand the consequence of past

when you see me chasing daydreams and you know that I'm not there

I'm not the one who sits across from you' who' returns your stare

and I watch as you grow quiet like you always did

and I wait to get what I deserve

its the part that doesn't die that makes it hurt...
