lyrics

V1:
My mouth is dry from the dusty cigarette smoke
That I push from my lungs when I curse your name

I put blue paint on our past but it never dried
Because you returned to paint it another color

The blinds reflect your golden locks of cellophane
And suffocate my dreams until the night

I can't take off this ring we share together
It's glued to my finger and my tears

Chorus:
But I'll tear down these walls
Before you trap my heart again
In your widowed web of betrayal

And I'll sink with my ship
Before you point your cannon
'Cause I'm lost at sea anyway

V2:
I'm stuck on the bottle, trying to forget your face
But it's slowly running dry

And I'm trying to get far away from this place
'Cause my memory's full of you

I wrote you a song to show you that I loved you
But it's stashed away in the fireplace

I am two steps from falling six-feet under
and you won't even care that I'm gone

Chorus
