You know I asked a lot of questions But the answers you gave left me cold I was asking for disaster I needed to break to feel more whole I was seeking true transgressions There's a life not lived when you're on your own I desired your reactions Had a fear my line was a tattered rope Did I think I had the answers? Nah, I'd learned to set my bar damn low Did you ever want this bastard Or just a sounding board of flesh and bone Yea, was I better off Being alone For all my thoughts and questions Through the pages filled as I learned to cope There are things that we discovered On the dim-lit steps of ephemeral homes I don't hold you in contempt, no It's a truth that I have come to learn And I don't wanna bare my torches I knew all along that I begged to burn
