How  I waited back  on the corner
for  you to make me see  straight again
I  could steal your heart  and picture
but  i dont think its  getting better
you  swore  that you'd be alright  but you're not
you  swore  that you'd be fine  but you're not
 and im sorry  about it
 but im  just tired  of wasting time
I  killed another  one tonight
I  cant stop  myself from crying
I  killed another  girl tonight
just  cant help  myself anymore
Youre  dad  swore you'd be fine  but he lied
youre  mom said  stop calling nights,  at least sometimes
you're  grades  never looked as good  as it does in the daylight
i'm  tired  of wasting time
i'm  tired  of wasting time
its  october  22nd now
its  been three  days since i felt it
its  october  the 22nd now
its  been three  years since u left me
you're  dad  swore you'd be  fine but god he  lies
youre  mom said  stop calling nights  andy, at least sometimes
you're  graces  never looked as good  as it does in the daylight
im  tired  of wasting times
on  a body  that has no life,
on  a rythm  that has no rhyme
tonight.
