I’ve been losing patience with myself
And the lies the mirror fails to hide and tell
My beating heart, my splitting cells are betraying me
Been turning my virtues into vices
Like water into wine
I’d rather be genuine and a cynic
Than a hypocrite living a lie
What is time in the eyes of a dying man?
When I leave, I plead not heed a second chance
Heard your voice through the payphone line
And I am drunk with lust, my whiskey tongue-tied
Words, slurred, I apologize
But yours is the first name that came to mind
My wounded breath and bloodshot eyes
Wanting only to love and to be loved by you
Wow Wow Wow Wow
I’ve been swearing at the stars, I’ve been cursing at my luck
Like the wolves curse at the moon for the lack of a sun
And fate cursed my father with a daughter for a son
Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow
If it happened to me it can happen to anyone
Oh how I miss my brother
Most of all come time summer
Leaves will fall and change their color
I may never know another one like you
Oh how I miss my sister
Most of all, come time winter
Knew her best when times were simpler
Still the same, now but different
In life and love, she spared no mercy
Deserving not was I nor worthy
Father please forgive me I have forsaken your family’s name
I will burden blame and hang my head for shame
Raise your glass high, I propose a toast,
To the lives and love we let go
Wiser now in years than I am old
My love, my life, I let them go
We will all die alone
Sit on my hands to free them from fetter
Pillow to chest, and let feelings fester
You were the one always, forever
(Wanting only to love and to be loved by you)
You were the one always, forever
(Wanting only to love and to be loved by you)
You were the one always, forever
(I may never know another one like you)
Sit on my hands to free them from fetter
Pillow to chest, and let feelings fester
You were the one always forever
