takes my life

i've written and erased your name a thousand ways in my book

i've tried to be unkind

maybe cause you to rewind

and take a good hard look

i try to take a stand

but it seems to never end in this place

i'm gnawed down to bone

by the time i get alone

do i even know my own face

you confuse me

and correct me

and it's fine

'til someone takes my life

i've caught you in the act

i fought to bring you back to my eyes

i've left it all alone

saying

someday you'll come home" in my mind
