(no subject)
I was bruised and battered
and I couldnt tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window
I didnt know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wasting away
On the streets of philadelphia?
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of philadelphia
Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend
My clothes dont fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin
The night has fallen, Im lying awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of philadelphia
I talk to thousands of people everyday, just to get the thought of hurting you out of my head. I laugh, I smile, but my eyes give it all away. I'm sorry, and I know you'll never understand why things happened like they did. It's not you. It was never you.
It seems like these days whenever I walk into someone's life, they're signing a contract, someone cries. I never wanted it to be you. I never wanted to be your disappointment. I hope one day you'll see that you're better off without me, because I can't be what you need. I hope that by me cutting the ties of our relationship, you'll be free to find someone better. I hope one day we'll be able to be friends and remember fondly what we had... but I'm not there yet. When I think of what we had, my eyes swell up.
I don't recognize myself anymore.
