lyrics

I am left here just a little bit speechless staring at the time. Taken by surprise, I am struck from behind
and dragged by my heels. On a very different day
you once told me you would never leave. But you left out the part where I keep you busy till the better man takes the lead.

Are you feeling lighter now?
Is he bringing out your best side?
Are you telling him forever now?

I'm awoken in a room with a horrible view and my feet are tied. And the hands that used to touch your hair are lying on the concrete. I used to think without It I would sink to the bottom of an endless see. But after hearing all the words I've heard I'm learnin' that the words don't mean a thing.

Are you feeling lighter now?
Is he bringing out your best side?
Are you convincing him forever now?
Is he the "million to one hard" find?
Are you sleeping better now
that your "true love" warms your side?
Are you ready for forever now?
Knowing you let us die?

I'm not one to hold on to dirt but,
girls, if I don't get this out this could
turn out with you sleeping just just fine at night
and at night I want you crying
I want you crying, regretting everything
I want you soaking up your sleeves
I want you kicking, yeah kicking yourselves envious
It's not me....It's not me you'll be waking with.

Are you feeling lighter now?
Is he bringing out your best side?
Are you convincing him forever now?
Is he the "million to one" hard find?
Are you feeling better now
that your "true love" warms your side?
Are you ready for forever now?
Knowing you let us die?
