Shattered and Burned Lyrics

I could've been crazy yes I could've been sane

I could've watched your love wash down another drain

I could've been useless I could've been wise

I could've dissolved all of those tears in your eyes

I could've been heartless I could've been cruel

I could've been one who never touched the golden rule

I could've watched you escape from the promises you made

I could've stayed wide awake could've watched my heart fade

I could've drown in the love that I thought I had earned

I could've watched as the memories shattered and burned

I could've been star-struck I could've been blind

I could've watched as the vipers took a hold of my mind

I could've been angry I could've been tossed

I could've been searching for what I once lost

I could've been famous I could've been dirt

I could've been sewing extra buttons on this shirt

I could've spilled my seventh drink and then wiped it from you house

I could've laughed like a mouse who was living in you blouse

I could've scoffed at your feelings and never returned

I could've watched as the memories shattered and burned

I could've been Cupid I could've been Zeus

I could've been tight and I could've been loose

I could've been Jason I could've been Hera

I could've been myself but I didn't want to scare ya

I could've been righteous I could've been weak

I could've melted in your bedroom when you kissed me on the cheek

I could've given up the promises I made when I was free

I could've asked myself to be the man you wanted me to be

I could've bellowed out a bitter song and acted unconcerned

I could've watched as the memories shattered and burned

But I'm not that kind of man you know

I'm not that kind of squirrel

I don't say that I'm in love with you when you're not my kind of girl

And though I knew that pride would lead you into someone else's bed

There were undone stolen promises still breathing in my head

And I could've been better and I could've been worse

I could've searched your bedroom drawers I could've emptied out your purse

But you and I are different and if there's one thing that I've learned

That you'll watch but I won't as the memories get shattered and burned

But I'm not that kind of man you know

I'm not that kind of squirrel

I don't say that I'm in love with you when you're not my kind of girl

And though I knew that pride would lead you into someone else's bed

There were undone stolen promises still breathing in my head

And I could've been better and I could've been worse

I could've emptied out your bedroom drawers I could've rifled through your purse

But you and I are different and if there's one thing that I've learned

That you'll watch but I won't as the memories get shattered and burned

Shattered and burned

Shattered and burned

Shattered and burned

Shattered and burned

Shattered and burned

Shattered and burned

You'll watch but I won't

You will but I don't let them shatter and burn

No matter how hard you try to kiss me goodbye

We won't shatter and burn
