So it takes a year to lose the bridge
Where you went fishing with your father as a kid
With my memory's slow defeat
I have lost parts of me that i cannot retrieve
I know it feels like i go missing now and then
I can see her out there wondering where i am
And i'm sorry i cant answer when you
Ask but i have no words to describe the dark
No i have no words to describe
The dark
But i have put faith in what i thought that i could hold,
Drawers of silver and rings and cheap gold
And i have been plagued by false starts
It seems so hard to draw from memory, the lines you should have known by heart
And when i quit drinking i was just thinking constantly
About the man who gave that very gift to me
And i will run until i'm empty in the chest
And when i am weary i will rest
And if i can sleep then i will know i've passed
The test
Cause i've sat through nights
Lost for weeks, practicing your smile, sealing up my grief
Most days im fine
But when it rains my heart leaks, my heart leaks
So now my small victory's on my own, these days i'm proud of next to nothing so when i am i stand alone
And now instead of being honest all the time
Well i get fifteen minutes with a mic and
I don't sleep so well at night
And these past few years my short lone heart has been overdue, well she can borrow it but it belongs to you
Now it's true some things you just dont leave behind
Cause now when i sleep i close your eyes
When i was fourteen i thought no one really died
Cause i've sat through nights
Lost for weeks, practicing your smile, sealing up my grief
Most days im fine
But when it rains my heart leaks, my heart leaks
