Appreciation Day
We posted up like it was light outside
We set each other off like fireflies
I drew in so close like it was our last night
And I kissed you goodbye
And the wine starts to take its effects
And you start moving the side of your neck
The lips that don’t lie lied again
Is there something there ?
We shacked up like it was the coldest night
I loved you like it was the end of time
But there was nothing there
For You.
Did you hate the way this town rose up
And took the weak person that you were ?
Did you hate it enough,
Enough to leave everyone in it in the dirt ?
Did you hate the way that I gave up my rights,
My rights to love anyone else ?
You took the endorphins away,
Now I can’t feel pain
Except when I pretend,
That your actually awake
And that your still walking about
And your still making someone shout
But I’ll always love you
With every step I take that leads to
Another wasted effort, another senseless crime
That you are to grown up to deal with at this time
Did you hate us enough to forget ?
Forget the ones that made you who you were ?
We set each other off like fireflies
I drew in so close like it was our last night
And I kissed you goodbye
And the wine starts to take its effects
And you start moving the side of your neck
The lips that don’t lie lied again
Is there something there ?
We shacked up like it was the coldest night
I loved you like it was the end of time
But there was nothing there
For You.
Did you hate the way this town rose up
And took the weak person that you were ?
Did you hate it enough,
Enough to leave everyone in it in the dirt ?
Did you hate the way that I gave up my rights,
My rights to love anyone else ?
You took the endorphins away,
Now I can’t feel pain
Except when I pretend,
That your actually awake
And that your still walking about
And your still making someone shout
But I’ll always love you
With every step I take that leads to
Another wasted effort, another senseless crime
That you are to grown up to deal with at this time
Did you hate us enough to forget ?
Forget the ones that made you who you were ?
