Cruel Summer

You were working early shifts when I was home at seventeen

Then I was moving out and you were sweating blood about me

Back then, my Mum was still around and I had room to breathe

Wish I could go back

I was living in a studio, I was broke and I got mean

Thought you were coming down but you were doing fine without me

So I left you alone and spent the last of the money I didn't have

Then I got clean without you next to me

We were waiting in the hospital with broken bones, foot out the door

Swear I heard my friends call out my name before I hit the floor
