Drawing a collective breath

I could cry myself to death

and wash this all away

In a flash you were gone

leaving me a couple of songs

that I listen to everyday



And I don't even care

that you were so unfair

I worshipped one time at your feet

Save up our tears

Catalogue all our fears

Give into the stretching years



Your words hit me just last night

when I saw it with the after sight

what was on your mind

Too late to ever change

things go a little bit strange

you were too far behind



And the reasons I have to live

Are the reasons that you would give

to throw it all away

Save and freeze up our tears

Catalogue all our fears

Give into the stretching years

But that's OK



And I can't understand

why you folded with a winning hand

and decided to throw the bet

I just can't believe you'd leave

with an ace sticking up your sleeve

you could have paid off your debts



And I don't even care

that you were so unfair

I worshipped one time at your feet

Never heard what was said

All nerve ends are dead

Tinitus ringing in my head



Save and freeze up our tears

Catalogue all our fears

Give into the stretching years

Drown in my tears

Succumb to my fears

Give into the stretching years

but that's O.K.

I'm not O.K.

but that's O.K.
