[Intro]
Dawn, it started lookin little better after long nights
Since I finished drinkin', all I think about is real life
Since I started thinkin', all I think about is you
All I think about is us; I got nothin else to do, yeah-
Dawn, it started lookin little better after long nights
Since I finished drinkin', all I think about is real life
Since I started thinkin', all I think about is you
All I think about is us; I got nothin else to do, yeah-
[Verse 1]
You told me meet you in a graveyard,
Tryin' to soften this
But babe it's gonna stay hard
There ain't no stoppin' it
You can't even look at me,
Who you even talkin' to?
You didn't tell him everything
I know cause he's still with you.
Meet you out for closure
That's that high road
Check your bibliography
'Cause that's that book that I wrote
You just paraphrasing-
Helps you bloody up the truth, girl
You didn't tell him everything
I know cause he's still with you.
[Bridge] (Vocal Runs)
Ooh...
Ooh...
[Verse 2]
I never talk about you in a complimentary fashion
Every breath without you tastin' sweeter than the last one
Don't know what I think of you? Then probly you should ask some-
Body, ooh,
But it, ooh,
Can't look any better than the absence of a sad sight
You and she are different, I remember from her last night
Me and her were paired tight, you're more like a parasite
On it, ooh,
Cut it, ooh,
Meet her in a memory,
She ain't you, though
She wraps her arms around my neck
You use a chokehold,
Eyes so cold,
Where'd your warmth go?
Sick of writin' shit about this;
Kid, it's gettin' so old
See you in a common place,
Wish you'd step back bitch
Walkin' in her body got me
Laughin' at your sacrilege
Every time I look at you,
Honey, I remember
Best friend and my lover
Suicided in November!!
[Bridge] (Vocal Runs)
Ooh...
Ooh...
[Verse 3]
All the energy I ever used on you is mine now,
I can be my greatest- I don't even have to try now
Since I finished waiting for apologies and truth
I don't get so fuckin' shitty- now I only pity you
Told me meet you in a graveyard-
Girl, fuck that shit; save your shame-and-guilt-trip,
Give your fuckin therapist
'Fraid to be in rooms with me alone,
Who you talkin' to?
The person you resemble crumbles every time I look at you
Meet you out for closure?
Didn't know you're a comedian
Higher living means a longer fall, I didn't see it then-
Hope you aren't trapped in that complacency you're into
But you didn't tell him everything,
I know cause he's still with you.
[Bridge] (Vocal Run)
Ah-ooh...
[Outro]
Every time I see you,
I see her;
Desecrate and
Make it worse.
Every time I see you,
I miss her;
Every time I see you,
Lines get blurred.
Every time I see you,
I see her;
Desecrated, -crated, -crated.
