Slowly the pen touches paper
In the guidance of the words that you write
Memories roll in of the things you once did
And who you had shared them with
Somebody thinking of you
Did I bother telling you this
With the words that cross teeth and jump lips
A poor choice of words
In wanting to tell you anything
But words don't come with ease
They're forever my hurt
Would it really matter
If you were to count the days left with your hands
Your focus secure and the loves you left well
Smiles staged in photographs here until...
You left the light on
There's a chance I might have tripped girl
You were there to hold on
Ignoring the words
Of your obnoxious little brother
Kill or be killed spilled
The words from your mother
I'll lay awake for a while
I'll leave the light on a while
You couldn't stand a lifetime
Caught between here and the days of it
Carving her name across your arm
With every wish it's hit or miss her
I told you so I measure distance in lines
Departing the rest of my life
But you you you
You had better things to do
But you you you
You had better things to do...
Liar liar liar liar
Liar liar liar liar
Liar liar liar liar
Liar liar liar liar
Liar liar liar liar
Liar liar liar liar
Ignoring the words
Of your obnoxious little brother
Kill or be killed
Spilled the words from your mother
I'll lay awake for a while
I'll leave the light on a while
But you couldn't last a lifetime
Caught between here and the days of it
Carving her name across your arm
With every wish it's hit or miss her
I told you so I measure distance in lines
Departing the rest of my life
If you'd get put to sleep
Like an old dog you're better off
Should you get put to sleep
I've been cautious with the words I extend
Allow this year before the world starts to end
Yo
