well you held me up by your teeth young thing you’re not letting go but I’m letting go I’m letting go staring at the candles that flicker by my bedside brightening your bloodshot eyes wearing makeup on your dress spouting the same old weary lines a tired heart, who let you in the back door? you don’t live here anymore a tired heart, who let you in the back door? I don’t know where to start I don’t know where when you open up that door you’ll see all you wanted to say is “I need you more than I need myself” a tired heart, who let you in the back door? you don’t live here anymore a tired heart, who let you in the back door? lie to me one last time I don’t know where to start just say you won’t I don’t know where the wax starts to sink the light, and the only life is from the stereo breathing lullabies about when things were clear inside your mind I’m not your home you’re on your own these visions from the past won’t keep you warm you’re just another relic living on my bedside let me go, let me go a tired heart, who let you in the back door? you don’t live here anymore a tired heart, who let you in the back door? lie to me once last time about the times you said it hurt the worst just say you won’t give up on yourself

I won’t hold my breath for you as you dive into this tomb you’re digging your own grave in the hourglass its moments away you sank those ships with no consequence and you drowned yourself to keep an anxious audience what’s in your blood stream can’t find me echoing the sound what’s in your bad dreams can’t find what won't be found what will you see? phantoms in me? there’s nothing on the other side what if you sink? what if you swim? fathoms below death’s undertow until your eyes are open wide and all you see is crystal white you’re not a god there’s not a god to save you from oblivion and I won’t sleep tonight you’re taking me to places I don’t wanna go anymore where will you be the morning after? when all is said and done? where will you be the morning after? when I’m the only one left alive

these four walls will never be enough to hide yourself from the rest of us take me home, let me go from this scenery, forget every part me and when you glance through these broken shades and decide what to take or leave behind like a thief in the night I’m still left here in a vacant room, a shattered shell of what it used to be Like a brother with your disguise but your monsters come out at night take me home, let me go from this scenery, but leave every part me and when you stare through these broken shades and decide what to take and leave behind like a thief in the night I’m still left here in a vacant room, a shattered shell of what it used to be And when you turn from those broken shades and decide that what you took was once mine, like a thief in the night I’m still left here in a vacant room, a shattered shell of what it used to be

I’m tired of having another late night indecision, or feeling early morning regrets to explain again to my sober side but then you scream, then you scream, you scream, you scream and shout run me ragged till the threads run out since you left here, I’m all alone I know, you can’t wait to say goodbye I’ve got things I’d like to say when you can give me the time of day it’s no help dear, since you’ve gone I know, you can’t wait to say goodbye slipping in and out of consciousness maybe I should give my mouth a rest but you said I’ve spent all of my best years making mistakes but I swore to god, you swore to god it was okay oh it’s not your place to hold my head up anymore I never meant to be your responsibility in your dark room you’re safe from me but you captured something you can’t just filter out since you left here, I’m all alone I know, you can’t wait to say goodbye again I’ve got things I’d like to say when you’ve got the time, when you’ve got the time I’ve got fucking time since you left here, I’m all alone I know, you can’t wait to say goodbye we spent time framed in galleries surrounded by your pretty pictures our portrait fell apart

Sad Dads 03:06
I’m waking up before this sunrise leaves my room I’ve given up on these broken thoughts of you I know we tried I know we tried to say what we wanted to say but then we cried crying out, please don’t forget what I’m about I am drowning in your disappointments this stagnant water, that fills the room I’m giving up these hopes and dreams for anything you want me to be it’s the same to me, but I’ll get over it then we’ll cry, crying out, “Now! now! now! don’t be so proud, dear” “It’s what we’re laughing about, it’s what we’re screaming about” and I’ll let go again, and I don’t know again I’m standing here but I’m miles away working through my hazy head with sleeping hands that can’t get a hold of me and this lump in my throat I sing to this empty bottle, on bloodied knees just listen to me I hope you’ll listen to me
