lyrics

I’ve given up on writing letters cause I don’t like there being records
Of the thoughts that do betray the only one that I’ve got today
Knowing me I’ll try my best to make it harder on myself
And I wake up to the sound of pouring rain.

She who’s of the essence is the one who waits for no man
I can sit here and resent them or I can do it to their faces
And sling accusations baseless all because I missed my chances
Waking up apologizing just the same

Now I’m banking on the sun to say that ain't a fact
And I’m thinking about the days creeping past
I’d only like to make one last
Long enough for her to take me back

He’s better off, he’s better dead. I’ll fight if death is guaranteed
But trying to fight for love and glory just seems to make a better story
The only difference in our wealth is all that I do to help myself
Waking up is getting harder all the time

Chorus
