lyrics

I let a lot of things slide for a long time
I don't even know if I trust my mind anymore
My feelings come to haunt me
I just don't have that kind of self-control

Oh no, of course not, nobody does
Oh no, of course not, nobody does

I don't have grandfathers anymore
It happens however it happens
Your life story is all over your body

I'm ready to forget it if you're ready to forget it
I'm ready to forget it if you're ready to forget it

Maybe there's a world where we are friends
Maybe there's a world where we had it under control
And instead of this mess we helped each other
We were strong enough, we were friends

What does it say that all my friends are scared of me
What does it say that all my friends are scared of me

Everyone has their tragedy of wasted time
I wasted so much time but I stayed alive
I'm doing what my mother did
I'm doing what my grandmother did

When one is with you at your table the other is asleep on your bed
When one is with you at your table the other is asleep on your bed
When one is with you at your table the other is asleep on your bed
When one is with you at your table the other is asleep on your bed
