eyes wide open in a blackout
holdin' onto false hopes with my hands out
we were singin' in a chorus line of angels
we were pretty out of tune and God was watching me
chasing shadows, did it matter I was fallow?
my neck hurt from the last time I was hallowed
now I'm gone, I'm gone
tragically you were this a dream I had
as usual you were smiling, I was tight and sad
I was holding out for things I think we never had
on a dreamboat I was floating at a ceiling
you were guessing everything that I was feeling
after months I can still say that I'm reeling
please stop picking at these wounds that I am healing
please don't kick me when I'm down
I'll take my time and find in time a truer love
I mean, why would I be here when I could anywhere?
I guess that had been what I'd been thinkin' of
but the truth is it still hurts when I see you with him
you're gone and I'm so gone
I'm a loner and a goner, I'm not bitter
I'm just a cold snap in a black hole
you're a sinner
