[Intro]
Woah-oh
[Verse 1]
As I confronted you face to face
And those bright blue eyes that stared into my already brittle soul
And as you lied to my face once again
And the place that I once called home
Slowly disappeared in the blink of my already teary eyes
And as I sit on this wooden porch feeling ever so weary
Burning all the photos of me and you
So I can feel
And all the letters and all the lies
[Chorus]
And as I analyze all of this
Just to formalize an idea of where I went wrong
And all day long, feeling down and out
And beyond any doubt
I knew the truth
[Verse 2]
And as those bright blue eyes stared into my already brittle soul
And as you lied to my face once again
And the place that I once called home
Slowly disappeared in the blink of my already teary eyes
And as I sit on this wooden porch feeling ever so weary
Burning all the photos of me and you
So I can feel ever alive of all your lies
The idea where I will run
[Chorus]
And as I analyze all of this
Just to formalize an idea of where I went wrong
And all day long, feeling down and out
And beyond any doubt
I knew the truth, my old friend
[Bridge]
As those bright blue eyes
That shined so bright my life
And my old friend
[Chorus]
And as I analyze all of this
Just to formalize an idea of where I went wrong
And all day long, feeling down and out
And beyond any doubt
I knew the truth
[Verse 3]
As the night grew darker
And my struggles grow harder
I was so determined to carry on
Despite the circumstances
I still carried the weight of you
On my weak shoulders, so to speak
And I wished that there was a magic marker
To erase all of this
Or just about these past two years
[Bridge]
And as those bright blue eyes
That shined so bright my life
And my old friend
[Chorus]
And as I analyze all of this
Just to formalize an idea of where I went wrong
And all day long, feeling down and out
And beyond any doubt
I knew the truth
[Bridge]
And as those bright blue eyes
That shined so bright my life
And my old friend
[Outro]
So I'm leaving you with this my friend
To realize that self-enlightenment isn’t any trend
It's rarely found and unique in it's own integrity
But know you’ll grasp it, as I have faith
Because dishonesty isn't a key value we live our lives by
And honesty is all I ever ask for
Just to keep my sanity
And if curiosity didn't kill the cat
It sure killed me and you, my love
