My words always lose their meaning ‘cause I talk to much
Yours were always too profound ‘cause silence was your crutch
“Don’t worry,” you said, “life is too short and you’re too serious”
I will always be half-hearted just because you're not what I can’t have
If I told the whole truth now, it would ruin everything I ever said
One more half-lie to justify, I’ll twist the truth until I’m dead
And we fell through the threshold last night
One day closer to dying and one more old man here to say,
“Don’t waste your life away”
I looked back with such disdain at 20 years gone down the drain
Two decades of all my shit drowned out my newfound impetus
Every day I treaded life, you got swept up in my tide
How do I apologize for ruining our lives?
