When i told you i was looking for the heavens above
You told just to stay here so you could drown me in love
We made some empty promises and tried to make-believe
But I never really belonged there with the birds and the bees
Maybe I should let go of those desperate times
I left you in a cold place but I kept what was mine
Maybe you'll forgive me for the lies that I spun
I was just a poor boy down the shaft of a gun
Looking down the barrel I played games with my life
Then you tried to save me from the edge of a knife
Looking through the picture of our perfect sunshine
Pouring one more empty glass of three dollar wine
I wish I could have told you that it wasn't your fault
You used to be my best friend 'till we led that assault
Bruised and bloody by the steady hands we used to hold
Flashes of our distant smiles; the greatest tale never told
