I am stupid you are perfect
I am danger you are safe
Ive been drinking from this bottle
For at least a couple days
Every time you walk in a room
Angels blindly follow you
You are kind and sincere but so few
Take me downtown to the gutters
Where I am one step away
Between making enough money
To make my daughters feel safe
I have ruined all the good things in my life
But there you are
Stay with me I am built from all your parts
And I dont recall the first time
That I locked my eyes with yours
But I remember seeing double
Outside the liquor store
There were two of you
So beautiful I couldnt even talk
I tried to sweep you off your feet
But you couldnt walk
Lets get back now to the present
Where youre living in a world
Where you dont want me for comfort
You just need your little girls
Thats okay cause I am looking
But I dont have sight to see
Maybe I cannot change me cause I am me
And you do not love the person
That you met that sunny day
I am no longer on your path
But it seems Im in your way
There were two of you so beautiful
I couldnt even talk
I tried to sweep you off your feet
But you couldnt walk
I tried to sweep you off your feet
But you couldnt walk
