Smoking outside and I'm running my mouth
Talking shit on bands I know nothing about
Because I know you like them and I know you can hear me
You stand right beside them but you won't stand right near me
Hell froze over when I tried to break the ice
A cold shoulder won't tear me from those eyes
Broke my glasses but at least I could see through you
Choking on smoke and coughing up lungs and better halves
If I could speak with the voice of a scholar
If I could sing with the tongue of an angel
Then we could get down to brass tacks and squalor
Took your touch for granted, but it's getting me right
I’m a fool for you, but don’t move too fast
Because love is a language I haven’t learned yet
Yours is a face that I can’t forget
I can’t stand the truth or my selfish ways
I’m nothing more than an empty bottle
You can use to ash your cigarette
All I’ve ever known is how to be alone
Took a deep breath and I'm standing in line
Hoping for a moment that you'll give me your time
But I'm running out of things I wish I could say to you
In spite of bitter things I still run away to you
I'm six feet under and there's flowers growing over my head
I never asked to be a cameraman
The winds of winter whisper telling me I'm better of dead
I never thought I'd need a helping hand
I’m a fool for you, but don’t move too fast
Because love is a language I haven’t learned yet
Yours is a face that I can’t forget
I can’t stand the truth or my selfish ways
I’m nothing more than an empty bottle
You can use to ash your cigarette
All I’ve ever known is how to be alone
