it s been a month since the fourth of july stood there and stared at the grief in my eyes leave it to me to live out a lie so i sat on the curb and i cried like a child catching my breath just walked for awhile and i thought of what could go wrong i m already gone don t say a word i can t hear you don t hold me close i can t feel you so i stopped at the store to grab cigarettes couldn t say it out loud couldn t fathom it yet you finally feel and we feel like this i m sorry just wasn t enough destroying your faith preserving your trust and you couldn t choose and neither could i i know that i left you for dead don t give up so soon because you know that we all have a bed it s waiting for you in the recovery room just forget everything that i said washed out the wounds the walls painted red they re waiting for you in the recovery room she stood there in her summer dress the wind caught her hair and failed to confess and i smiled as we raced through the night my hand caught her wings then nothing felt right  i know that i left you for dead don t give up so soon because you know that we all have a bed it s waiting for you in the recovery room just forget everything that i said washed out the wounds the walls painted red they re waiting for you in the recovery room i know that i left you for dead don t give up so soon because you know that we all have a bed it s waiting for you in the recovery room just forget everything that i said washed out the wounds the walls painted red they re waiting for you in the recovery room
