Looking Back

lyrics

I can't open my eyes today
all the scars are fresh & the memory won't go away
I can't quite manage a civil tongue in my head
I guess I best stay in bed anyway

it's not like you're ever around
not like we even share the same coast now
not like I've even got reason to bring it up now
but you do stick in my head anyway

CHORUS
I don't recall just when you gave up
but I know when I threw in the towel
and I don't know when you finally gave in
but I remember I was fucking tired

I always knew I was second place
a forlorn example of all you escaped from
you always knew you had a place you could cum
and I let you use up my time anyway

I wonder do you even remember cause
it all seems so far away
swing sets & heart strings & words that were meaningless
I bet you'd just say we were just kids anyway

CHORUS

So I don't care who he was
I don't even care who he is
I do hope he treats you
as good as I should have
and I hope that he never gets tired
Yeah, I hope that he never gets tired.

Well I can't open my eyes today
My Life is pretty good but I can't face it anyway
I wish I could call you & tell you the news
but you wouldn't remember me anyway.
