lyrics

Back when you said your days were numbered
So certain with death, but so unencumbered
Oh, I’ve never felt so cold
Too young to be so old

What’s left for me
If you’re on your way out, who do I turn to now?
I realize how selfish that sentiment sits
In your head and in my heart, as I watch your body fall apart
I’ll prop you up to be the man you always were to me
I can’t believe

We all settle for a God, in our wildest dreams
Who sits and punishes us, one and all, over nothing
That breakdown isn’t sin, no it’s simple attrition
and I won’t see him again, don’t tell me there’s something after

If you’re on your way out, who do I turn to now
I realize how selfish that notion sits like a stone
Buried inside your heart and I know someday I’ll fall apart
As my vision blurs, my hearing dulls
And I’ll once again return to the cold

That’s what you get
A lifetime full of regrets
That’s what you get
A life they will all forget
