Breakfast Counter

I never get tired of being ignored

It was nothing i did until that turned to a story

And i only wanted truth that id found

In my hardened heart when i let you down

I remember sitting down on sidewalks slowed

My heart racing young and my eyesight low

Oh soft, we're late, we were always late

Drowning in the wine and the evening glow

We wrote this down together and you heard me through

I leaned so heavy and we felt so damn new

It was only i never saw how lost id become

In the fall i was broken and numb

I was always leaving and alone i was tried

My boots lost their shine and my face filled with lines

The exposure left open spoiled our focused lies

Oh the winter, she robbed me blind

And I didn’t get to thank you for all that time I spent wasting away

The bottoms of bottles i found finding my way

So if you’re looking for me later on

Though i know you never will

Cause i’m a bastard lost in a grudge match

That i was never gonna win

I’ll be sitting at the breakfast counter

Counting my change for a desperate coffee

And when i leave by the back door

I’ll be leaving alone
