Drown

Front Porch Step

5

Well, I′m so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground

Just enough to get my feet wet, but not enough to let me drown

I've been laying in my bed, wishing I had never wokenBegging God to rid my head of every word you′ve ever spoken

Broke my knuckles on the wall, because I thought about the call

Where you said you'd always love me, do you not tell the truth at all?

Well, if I ever cross your mind, make sure you write down the times

So I will know the moments I was eating you alive

And now I lay here waiting with the hope

That I might find some sleep

I need some sleep tonight

'Cause I′ve been waiting on your call

But I know it will never come

But I′m still waiting by the phone

And don't you dare, don′t you dare

Say you ever loved me or even tell me that you cared

'Cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you′ve done

How dare you say you miss me with your spit still on his tongue?

I am broken, I am beaten, I'm mistreated and I′m torn

I am cold with no direction, but I'm lost without your warmth

I'm trying hard to find some hope that I might get the chance to breathe

Get off my mind, give back my heart and get the fuck away from me

I know I couldn′t give you much, but I know I gave my best

You were always my princess and now he′s sliding up your dress

And I know I gave the world, everything I've ever had

Johnny Cash said love would burn, I never thought it′d hurt this bad

Well, I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground

Just enough to get my feet wet, but not enough to let me drown

I′ve been laying in my bed, wishing I had never woken

Begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken

Broke my knuckles on the wall, because I thought about the call

Where you said you′d always love me, do you not tell the truth at all?

Well, if I ever cross your mind, make sure you write down the times

So I will know the moments I was eating you alive

You are the itch that's on my back

You are the gum under my shoe

You are the horrors of my past

You are the chill that haunts the room

You are the creaking on my steps

You are cancer, you are plague

You are regret, you are disease

I wish that you would go away
