You said it's all gonna change this day
Scratched the date into the wall
Tossed the bed from the room
And sat down on the floor
I never really thought to ask why
Because with you it all made sense to me
And i wish sometimes i was more like you
I'm never comfortable with letting go
We just sat all night and had a little fight
About the politics of Reagan Youth
Man, you took a lot of shit when we were in school
But all these mother fuckers could never touch you
And the words they said
Never really added up to anything
And i wouldnt bet
Any of us really knew your suffering
But we did not lie when we said
We'll be together
'Cause i cant do this
No, i cant do this on my own
What if i would have said "Please stay"
Is another moment just too long
One final chance to protect you myself
Like when you taught me that its ok
If i feel like breaking down
And the words they said
Never really added up to anything
And i wouldnt bet
Any of us really knew your suffering
But we did not lie when we said
We'll be together
Fear eats the soul
And it swallowed
Swallowed me whole
Things got confusing
And i thought i was losing
The both of you
But that night you promised me
This was unending
And no one believed it
But it was all that we needed
To be fine
