All my friends - Yeah, I left them both for dead
Their ghosts float around my head
Mad they did not catch the memo
Whenever you sweep the dirty floors
You scan the scene, your heartbeat hurts
I've lost my words, there's never dirt
On the writer's side of the typewriter
I'm dying for my dreams, but am I hurting yours?
It's only been a year, I've done four U.S. tours
I don't want to hit the end, I don't want to turn back
Be a debt collecting dad in the back of a van
You don't have to have it all
Those golden circles on the wall
How could I break your heart
If I never had it from the start?
This is what breaks you the most
This is what chills your bones
This is what breaks you the most
This is what kills your bones
This is what breaks you and cuts at your throat
I was my worst fear and I didn't know
I wanted to taste you and never go home
I spent all of this year out there on the road
All that I found wasn't what I desired
All of the weight loss and drinking in bars
I am a pro now at acting the part
I sing all my guts out and laugh at my art
I just want to see you and give you my love
I'm out here in Phoenix they cancelled the show
Was I not your Songbird, was that just a joke?
The prettiest punchline that you ever wrote
My friends are all dying
I can't catch my breath
I dress up in black now to match the events
We've all got thorns - Yeah, they prick and they poke
I imagine your veins burst a red blooming rose
I wish I could get back everyone that I love
I'm not your Songbird and you're not my Dove (x2)
