your white dress and your sky high shoes
i told you that i would finally follow through
but i couldn't leave that fucking motel room
to be there... for you
while your eyes hung low in a dead end dream
of a house, four kids, someone else's family
but im drunk again this crippling anxiety
it's just too hard being anything
last night i put on all your clothes
so i could feel a little less alone
but instead i found myself so fucking at home
lost in the memory of your ghost
your shadow

when the sun sets i'll be gone
in the springtime you'll hear this song
i could write you i could even call
but its says your machine is too full
when i'm sleeping in you're already awake
driving on and on endlessly
the asphalt's home now so let me go
you want the hate i hold so just take it slow

i keep trying to tell you
everything is okay
i keep trying to tell you
im fading away
in unanswered prayers
community groups
god didn't care about me
or you
and when your mom calls
shes banging on bedroom doors
your sister she falls
asleep on the kitchen floor
im drunk again sleeping in your bed
for the hundredth time
when your dad calls
an endless ringing phone
im with you here
but i feel so damn alone
now im drunk again sleeping in my bed
at home
for the first time
in a long time
and i kept trying to tell you
that everything is okay
and you kept trying to me
im fading away
in unanswered prayers
and community groups
god didn't care about me
but maybe he did about you

your mother's in the kitchen making coffee
we're sleeping off the beers we drank last night
hiding under covers from the cruel world
you whispered everything will be fine
I remember seeing you the first time
an angel like I'd never seen before
all dressed up at a party at your new place
my mouth was sure glued to your stag carpet floor
driving fifteen hours to see you
the joy I felt when I saw your face
I spent the next five days drunk and restless
a memory I hope never fades away
I remember seeing you the last time
a long talk at your mothers house
I sat there crying at your bedside
while you pleaded with me to get out
sometimes I wish I could change things
other times I'm glad they're this way
I still see the house we could've lived in
and then I watch it burn up in flames

you wanted to wear your hair like laura
but you prayed for a better fate
you ate his flesh and drank his blood
held your breath amidst the flood
hoping for better days
still say you met him at the party
told your friends that he stole your heart
in slurred words and beer breath kisses
you sure fell apart
the dust collects on your front porch
you've seen the sunrise twice before
spent this year collecting tears
young love, tattoos, photos, beer
but you're aching for more
when you smile you know i smile too
it's been a while since ive seen you...

sat at your table
while you told me stories
of where you've been the past 20 years
asked if i believed you
told you that i do
but i can't believe that you're here
do i look how you would've guessed
crows feet and cigarettes
never fully left where we lived
said you couldn't live down the past
your bulletproof vest
a dream of a house and three kids
so instead ill say my goodbyes
back home and goodnight
hope youre doing well in the cold
hes there keeping you warm
holding doors shut from the storm
but in the end we all die alone.

coffee for the late night
crowd's rolling in
put on your fake smile
and that light baby blue apron
practicing your hellos
goodbyes at the same time
watching everyone go
into that dark sky
crying out your eyes
in some company breakroom
telling yourself lies
like you'll be out of here soon
you say "i'll meet some nice boy
and he'll take me far away from this place
get married have a couple kids"
living out the life that you've always dreamed
but this single room apartment
gets smaller everyday
no matter how many graveyard shifts
i just can't make enough to save
me....
