lyrics

What was that look, the one that you gave me
As I pulled by your house, did you think I was crazy
Or were you glad that I had arrived?

Is anything different, you ask me to describe
Let me tell you my dear, the whole world's different tonight
You said not a word, but I swear that I saw you smile

Theres a train running through the yard
Waking the neighbors
There is smoke racing past my lips
Seeping through my fingers

With a knot in my throat, and teeth in my head
I'm spouting off words like you did in your bed
and something melodic brings me back to you
Beautiful Boy, you were never worth it all

It seems like the world is back where it was
I'm not looking for you, you're not looking for love
So tomorrow we won't speak a word
My skin starts to shake as you turn on the lights
Am i breathing the same breath you taught me to fight
Into your plan im falling but it feels nice
to be hypnotized

With a knot in my throat, and teeth in my head
I'm spouting off words like you did in your bed
and something melodic brings me back to you
All that i turned on is now off I breathe just to see my breath hit the fog
Im wasting away and threatening who catches my fall
Beautiful Boy, you were never worth it all
