Basically, this is an apology
I still know what's best for both of us, kid
We've been through enough
There's nothing left to prove
The feeling's mutual, but not exclusive
Alibis are only excuses -
Allowances for us to abuse the truth
The truth is i'm done with them
You may not ever hear them again
And still they only fulfill so much until
We have to fess up and face the facts
The best we can or live with the consequence...
The resulting accident
Our patience is fading
Consider this courtesy
If not somewhat evasive underneath
But even if it just thrills my soul
Or it burns another hole
I've got to let it go
Before we can't
So long
You've got to believe there's something better out there
Someone better out there for you than me
So, there you left me standing
To fend for myself however
But i'm holding up
I'm pulling through
I'm not sure what else you expect me to do
But i won't deny that i'm taking it hard...
I'm taking whatever's available to me
You see, that's just the way i deal with grief
Since i left you here
In our destroyed machine
I fear you've grown immune
To the difference between
Whether you're holding on
Or you're just holding out
Do me a favor, love
Let me go
Let me lose the courage tonight choose
While your pride is numb
While your face is still young
While your hands are still clean
Just wash yourself of me
