I'm tired of making excuses
In language no one uses
I'm tired of lying to myself
And the truth is hard to place when
I am lost in the lines of your face and
I know I'll only do you harm
And that's not what you wanted to hear, but then words never make things right
And he's not the man you want but he will keep you warm tonight
I'm tired of making excuses
When every word proves useless
And I only long to touch your skin
And there's a place in the bottom of my glass
Where the now becomes the past and
Each night I try to find my way
And that's not what you wanted to hear, but then words never make things right
And he's not the man you want but he will keep you warm tonight
When you disappear, where is it that you go?
Somewhere you're not punished for all the things you know?
And If you're at all like me, you'd rather live in your head
But it's hard to build a life when you're playing dead
So hand me my silence
I know you're not going to wait for me
You're far too lonesome
If it were up to me I'd drown you in
These words that pause upon my lips
And you can take it however you like
But I will never forgive myself tonight
And that's not what you wanted to hear, but then words never make things right
And he's not the man you want but he will keep you warm tonight
