we both know i broke you in so many ways
and what can i say, i was young i was crazy
there's you on the shelf like a broken toy
in the morning you'd weep for a lost little boy
so the least you could let me do
is to buy you a drink just to say it was you
that stole my heart
for the first time
there's so many people trapped with people they hate
do the carry the burden? take it to their grave
but now you see it wasn't me who was built for that role
to wake you each morning, to carry to hold
i moved out west and snapped out of your spell
found people i cherish and i found myself
but maybe i'll search for a woman to hold
someone who won't leave me out in the cold
you don't even have to sit with me
just take your drink and leave
i will be guilt free
knowing that you still know me
