Was a time I would have cried Those days have all gone by You always walked a crooked line And so did I If I mentioned love I take it back I saw your heart and it was black I finally found out what you lack And that's a soul You read my thoughts, you knew my fears Weren't as old as you appeared But so much wiser than your years And I was blind You left a trail of rubber checks Broken hearts and busted necks What the fuck did I expect I don't know You can give your confession tomorrow If you find a priest dumb enough to believe It only hurts when I breathe Purge and binge, binge and purge Gorged on speed and bitter words Found ourselves on B and 3rd One more time Feast and fast, burn and crash Couldn't seem to make it last You stole my confidence and cash But I will survive You can give your confession tomorrow If you find a priest dumb enough to believe It only hurts when I breathe Tears and laughs, laughs and tears Days are weeks and months are years Up the on-ramp grinding gears Away we go Looking for a bar to burn Waiting for the tide to turn Some people never learn And I should know You can give your confession tomorrow If you find a priest dumb enough to believe And me I'll just beg steal and borrow Because it only hurts when I breathe It only hurts when I breathe
