An Old Song Lyrics

The burn in the back of my throat

From the courage I swallowed

Isn't anything I thought it'd be

I'm in the corner and it's like you never knew me

And his hand runs down your neck

And I slam the door and find a home in the steps

With a cigarette, as he gets into your head

And you follow him up the stairs, to his bed

I'll tear at my hair until there's nothing left

Just to numb the thought of you loving him

As much as you loved me

Never promise him that you'll never leave, like

You left me on that lonely side street

In front of a house made of empty concrete

Finality, and now you're sharing sheets

You'd always want company

But not with me anymore

You're not with me anymore

I'm sinking through the hardwood floor

Rotten down to the core

You're not with me anymore

I feel the drugs in the confines of skin

Begin to wear at veins already worn thin

With overwhelming abandonment

And the longing for things that'll never happen again

I'll just make things up in my head

So what I've seen isn't what I believe

I'll pretend that I never saw you kissing him

Convince myself you respect the broken

Boy I've become enough, oh, I've become so numb

To the pain in my gut and the tip of of tongue

That I bite just so you can have your fun

I'll find someone else, I'm not the one for you anymore

You're not with me anymore

I'm sinking through the hardwood floor

Rotten down to the core

You're not with me anymore

You've haunted my head

Left my bed an unmade mess

It's time I tried to forget

The painted pavement, cement

The fact that what we had is dead

Taken for granted, sunk instead

Like stones forgotten, these amends

Find peace at the bottom of a riverbed

The courage came and went

Serotonin's all but spent

This is abandonment

You've haunted my head

Left my bed an unmade mess

It's time I tried to forget

The painted pavement, cement

The fact that what we had is dead,

Taken for granted, sunk instead

Like stones forgotten, these amends

Find peace at the bottom of a riverbed
