Sad Boys Club:
Recycling bin always full of bottles
At least you take them out
Your speech is always slurred
What are you trying to forget?
Goodnight sleep well baby
Sitting next to you in that hazy room
Lazy but you swept away the dust for me
House full of friends, no one to tell
The look of love through red-rimmed eyes
Goodnight sleep well baby
Bottles piling up on your desk now
Now I'm the one taking them out
Quiet house, only me to tell
I'm so helpless
And I don't think you're here anymore
There is nothing left to cling to as the constant turns to dust,
There are no more foot holds, and my hands are wet with the blood We shed just, trying to keep this roof above our heads, so as I slide Down into the water, try not too look as I sink into the river bed
Now I'm the one alone in that room
Now I'm the one holding the broom
The look of loss through those red-rimmed eyes
With no one to tell but you
I'm so helpless
And I don't think you see me anymore
You seem happier now you're alone
And I've never felt more alive or more awake
What's a better way to say, "I'm always here for you babe"
