So which drink did my memory drown in?
And which thought was your first one to consider him?
And which night was the night when the kingdom I
thought I was king of fell?
At the walls of the waves of a broken dam
Make me a broken man
So if we're all guilty, then what's the point in
pointing fingers anyway?
I'm no better, I'm just bitter
And I never got to say
How it hit me when you told me
Like a towtruck hauling a train, in a rainstorm, doing
eighty, with the brakes out
And oh, the things I've tried to cover up and
compromise
Put it up on a shelf, hide it in sheetrock, wrap it in
cellophane
But this is not a phase
You can't ignore til it goes away
I've got to face this now
I've got to take these walls down
So this is the last song in a series titled 'how you
broke my heart'
And I think it's the best one, now here comes my
favourite part
I forgive you
And I'm sorry
And I'm sorry it took so long
And I wish you the best in everything
And I wish you the best...
And all the things I've tried to cover up and
compromise
Put it up on a shelf, hide it in sheetrock, wrap it in
cellophane
But this is not a phase
You can't ignore til it goes away
I've got to face this now
I've got to take these walls down
(This is it, this is it
It's the song I could never sing while we were in love,
And it's dead)
