You picked me up in the morning light With a heavy head and sallow eyes A ball of flesh and heavy bone Known better days are kind of sore
I used to dream of leaving here Now I just sleep away the fear Nothing much ever came from me A sack of empty promises
And if all these selfish thoughts Would please just stop Sometimes do you wish you could watch it burn? The life you've built and the things you own And I dreamt of her again last night And how I could put the past to right
And if all these selfish thoughts Would all just stop And leave a little room for Someone else When all that it would help To fall behind
I used to dream of leaving here But the roots that bind were mine to grow
