why read the
fortune when
the cookie
it comes in is crushed?
like us
and the trust
babies cry
when they’re born
‘cause they know
that life is pain
it’s the same
it’s insane
to try it all again
I spend all
night dreaming
about you
then I wake up depressed
distressed
still dressed
I toast to
your memory
then I drink
to try to forget
the rest
I regret
boy, I try my best
but there’s something about your face
whiskey can’t erase
the wise man
on the mountain
can only
teach you how to climb
waste your time
not mine
when life gives
me lemons
I hold them
for so long that they rot
I forgot
to not
waste potential that I’ve got
to try to not give up on love
I might still find someone
to make it all worthwhile
I’m almost ready to make
another huge mistake
but I know it won’t last
‘cause there’s something about your face
no one could replace
and I’m not
saying you
can’t be happy
just do it somewhere else
go to Hell
fuck yourself
out of sight
out of mind
only works
when you’re blind and crazy
someone save me
‘cause you gave me
more pain than I can take
see I know I am a disgrace
‘cause I can’t face your face
