you called it no man s land with machine guns blasting to hell i let my guard down and carried my heart so far away and in a letter sent that i don t want to be here any more than them i m sipping on coffee gone stale again is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes so kiss me before it s over if only for a minute so kiss me before it s over if only for a minute we can argue who was first to bleed or let the walls do the talking but in the middle of the night i lay frozen in a memory of us down by a river with your hands clenched into mine well i still remember all the promises we swore that we d never outlive please tell me you remember forever friends cause in the red light i m singing all alone i watched my favorite dream fall from grace to stone hiding in the basement as we kept our voices low you gave me that old troubled look that said i don t know just like your mother says you re too pretty and young for this you ll make it better on the outside just keep your head and keep your fight
