With your glass turned on its side,
Insecure and apprehensive, I admit
We took this for granted.
Now the glass drips dry
And the sinks full of spilt regret
I don't have the answer's you want me to give
The days trail by, and my teeth are rotting from all the lies
We both know somewhere there's a line and we've crossed it
So cut this barbed wire loose and let me roam the fields
I wont go far, just out of sight until I'm ready
Find me trapped, tangled in chains,
and I might take a minute to listen to what you have to say
Otherwise don't be the water on this fire
Any other time and any other place
If I had the guts to admit it, I know
I've made more than just a few mistakes
Now I find myself staring
the bottle up and down, as if
there's anything left I could've missed
I'd take it back if I could, apologize if you'd look at me the same
But empty words could never mend what's been lost and broken
So spill this poison down my throat and let me sleep for a while
I can't make any promises but I'll try to visit
Find me sunk, pale, and cold on the floor,
I'll lay on my side so you can whisper in my ear
and tell me everything you never wanted me to know
Otherwise I'm nothing but a liar
and I never really cared for your thoughts
Don't be the water on this fire (tonight)
It only makes it harder to breathe
And my lungs are too weak to fight you (tonight)
Let the flames disintegrate on their own
Let the ashes find their way to the ground
Don't make this any harder
