Construct a better me You'll long to see My parts have gone missing Scattered like debris Across a world that I once called my own Six feet deep jealous of the world above No longer wander the streets No more talk of love On bridges meant for better feet I once thought I would do you proud You run your mouth off Do you think you're talking to me? I can't sleep when everything I ever believed Was broken and stolen from me Conversing with new ghosts to replace me I hope they cherish you when they share your sheets 'Cause lord knows that I would give my life
Believe me giving up was easy I try but you can never see me In your dreams my memory lives on Even when I'm gone The more I look I see an enemy You'll never put your arms around this memory I've charted your weakness your terror has ended I'll rescue the pieces and mend all the damage Did you think that it was going to change? Every name that you burned and buried all along the way Don't ask don't tell Who needs details When the lives you wreck are the lives that will prevail
