WASTED AWAY

You're skipping out on every night
Trying hard to stay out of sight
Talking in a whisper that I never could resist
Inviting yourself inside
Locked out forgot the keys
The sidewalk rain is beginning to freeze
Breaking all the windows to pieces
When all you had to say was please
Shoulder to shoulder
Pull me closer
Waste my time away
The colder it gets, the tighter I'll hold her
Nothing else feels the same
2 AM and you're crawling into bed
Careful not to drift away just yet
Ghosts in the floorboards begging in distress
But they'll never get to rest until we've settled our debt
Caught up in a web of lies
Spun together line by line
Writing down the pages of this fabricated narrative you
Wrote me into the ending and said goodbye
Shoulder to shoulder
Pull me closer
Waste my time away
The colder it gets, the tighter I'll hold her
Nothing else feels the same
Don't you ever tell me the odds
Not even if I was wrong
I know a thing or two 'bout
Everything and nothing at all
You could say I'm an addict
But I would call it fanatic
Letting a psycho break in
And break me down
Wasted Away
The colder it gets
Wish that I never told her
Nothing else feels the same
