not done with you yet

life

life can be

life can be senseless

life can be. life can be senseless

i've tried to make sense of it

flashing fake smiles at my friends beats defenselessness

i cannot clean up a mess without making more

it's time to settle the score

i can't be charming if you can't be charmed

if you give me everything that i want i will disarm

you are the only one who can stop me from giving up

and just my luck

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

you always have the fall before the lift

whether you drink to remember or drink to forget what you did

i am the closest thing to a modern day poet fraud

but i met god

in a velvet elvis painting that i painted myself

in a bar where i was pulling off the bottom shelf

when i had to quit before i killed myself

i met him there and i was scared

and so i asked god if he could fix my flaws

he said i gave them to you

i know they are killing you

but i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

oh

i can be a wreck with my friends to act impressive

i can drink too much and then curse away the sadness

ranting like a lunatic walking with a bottle of wine

and i'm not fine

because i spent ten years on the road that made me different

i created patterns of thought got new perspective

i was just an immigrant's son of a silenced preachers wife

but black and white both died

and so when i asked god

if he could fix my heart

he said i gave it to you

i know it's broken in two

but i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i once met god on an apartment floor

and said i give it to you

i've got nothing more

and i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet

i'm not done with you yet
