Lipstick stains where you wrote our names collect dust
This ring once around your finger, sits now and rusts
I dreamt of a place, but its not like this, its not here
I'm filling the void it leaves with cigarettes and beer
The condescending nature and broken hearts detract
From scenery that might be lovely if I had what I lacked
(chorus)
I fold down the sheets, but sleep on the floor
My nightly routine involves unlocking the door
They're silent precautions in case you decide
To take the midnight train and slip on inside
"At arms length I can tell we're better off as friends"
She said through tears, it took a month to comprehend
The consequence, the magnitude, it left me destitute
Still reeling over thoughts of once kissing you
Sometimes words are razors dancing down a phone wire
But one by one each picture found its way to the fire
I promised her I would never attempt to drink and drive
But tonight we play roulette, with luck I just might die
With flowers placed on my grave, I hope you'll be there
Because I've pushed away everyone who ever truely cared
The drunken hobos on my tombstone are perfect parody
Of the cards I dealt myself for everlasting eternity
