lyrics

I can’t ask for your forgiveness;
you’re never gonna see the good in me
there’s a filter when you look my way,
between who I really am and you what see
I’d send bottles to your shore
if I thought it would make you laugh and wave the flag
but there is something when you look at me,
it eclipses all the laughing times we've had

you see, my eyes are always open,
it’s been brought to my most violent of attentions
that our lives can get away from us,
and slip out of our very best intentions
and so many lives from now,
will we remember all the fault and all the blame?
or will we fall apart without a cause,
when someone speaks somebody else’s name?

well, I can’t keep up, and I don’t know if I want to

do the pages of your diary reflect the deepest, truest part of you?
or do you shy away from all of that,
and leave 'em blank as I so often do?
hey, I have never found the right approach
to document the twisted way I think
no, but someday when I’m gone,
you’ll find an arsenal of me and my rose ink

but, I can’t keep up, and I don’t think that I want to

so, in case I never said it right:
you mean the world, the stars, and in-between
I make an effort to write melodies
around all the sides of me that there have been
so, please forgive me, if you can,
cuz really all we are in life is who we love
and know, my words are all I have,
and they are all for you, I hope they are enough

so, take the worst of me, cuz it’s the best that I can do
please take the worst of me, cuz it's the best that I can do
