From the recording Blinded By Your Light
You always had to leave before midnight.
I'd hate to see who you became at 12:01.
Your hugs were as comforting as frostbite
when you left me in the dark so you could run.
And if anyone were accusing me of missing you,
of wishing you got sober just for me,
how wrong they all would be.
My mouth will always bleed
from all the daggers you spoke to me.
My heart still can't believe it used to think
that you were worth the fight.
Now I'm strong enough to leave
and smart enough to see
that I was blinded by your light.
You always told me I was petty
when I cried to you 'cause no one else would listen.
You never thought that I was ready;
you told me I would fail 'cause I'm not driven.
I still remember where I was
when I could see that you were hopeless.
Tequila on your breath, and acid on your tongue.
Oh, I still think about how you were only happy in the chaos.
You didn't want the truth because of how it stung.
