The first thing I saw I was at your door
The phone on your face your eyes on the floor
And I saw those tears
The shoebox is buried under the porch
You tell me your glad he won’t hurt no more
But I see your pain
I’ve lost before too
I wish I could lose this one for you

There's no need to leave
I know that you'll leave me, eventually
Well what should I expect
Smelling like shit and cigarettes, everyday
I wear my sins in packages under my skin
To protect myself
It hurts so bad to think about what you never had
So I medicate
Three times a day
So take that face and run
I know that you'll be gone, eventually
Cause it's too much to ask
To help me fix this mess
Enveloping me
I wear my sins in packages under my skin
To protect myself
It hurts so bad to think about what you never had
So I medicate
Three times a day

So this is it
I'm a mess
I've been sleeping alone for a while now
It's been almost a year since I broke down
When you left
Saw the new guy
And you on the road
Part of me hopes you are happy
Part of me knows that you lied to me
So I explode
I unload
Raise up your head
Turn it to the stars
Show the whole world
Who you are
Crack open that smile
Full of bleached white teeth
Burn up your skin
Until your darker than me
Times have changed, haven’t they?

We went to celebrate New Years
Down in Chinatown
There were drums that the Chinese played
A high school band started marching
Under the overhang
And the sounds of the street went away
Good Ol’ Ballou
Yeah we'd heard of you
But I cried today ‘cause the way that you played
I hope that the world doesn’t get to you
Remember the war starts and stops in your brain
The crane was caring fireworks
It shadowed the street
And the civil men began to cite
All of the reasons to celebrate the Chinese New Year
But no one had a light
Good Ol’ Ballou
Yeah we'd heard of you
But I cried today ‘cause the way that you played
I hope that the world doesn’t get to you
Remember the war starts and stops in your brain

Thunderstorms and bourbon
Victory and self defeat
Sleeping pills, the devil
Indifference and gluttony
Pained by your expression
Drowning in your vanity
You've sickened yourself ugly
You never should have done this to me
Your heart's still in the room
I know it's good you're gone
But I'm still haunted by those good times with you
A betrayal so astounding
A bomb more than a bullet
Did I make up your virtue?
Did I create what we went through?
I'd been hurting for a long, long, time
So I carved my pain into the sky
That's why it's been raining for days
Oh Judas I say
As I hang my head in disbelief

And Now I Understand

Your friends know that you’ll never leave
Your know she can’t be what you need
So leave her
She tells you she’s unhappy, and
her face is filled with discontent
Believe her
It could hurt you to leave
Or kill you to stay
So just go
Just go

From where I sit
We're both such fucking hypocrites
From where I sit
We could drown in all this pain
Or throw our souls into the pouring rain
To rinse the anger from our hearts
And wipe the evil out our eyes
