it's been a long time since you've been gone but I'm not telling anyone I know it's just those hard times you had to fall upon but did you forget all those rainy days you spent out with me begging strangers for their sympathy standing in the shade on some record of a day your hands are shielding my face it's dignity and grace that I have yet to find our sweat clings to the walls abandoning our flesh for something less vulnerable and my heart can't hold a beat it's trying to jump right out of me as we are screaming along bang bang bang went frankies gun you took some shots it's true I'd be a liar if I said I didnt fire back on you standing in the shade on some record of a day your hands are shielding my face it's dignity and grace that I have yet to find it's not hard to see why you never wanted me it's not that hard to see why you never wanted me standing in the shade on some record of a day your hands are shielding my face my eyes are all going blind I don't mind
