Ring around the rosies

Pocket full of posies

Ashes, ashes, we all fall

Another day goes by

And the saying, 'time flies’ really doesn't apply

When I'm trying to describe how I haven’t slept a damn night

You're damn right I'm sick of this damn life

A minute feels like an hour when it's quarter to four

And you're staring at the ceiling, laying on the floor

I don't wanna feel this anymore

I just wanna feel the way I did before you

Before you

How do I go back to the way that things were before you?

Before you

You left me here

With an unsightly scar

And a shattered heart to remind me

How we've come so far to throw it all away

It's like pouring salt on the wound

Every time I smell the scent of Gap perfume

Cuz it takes me back to a time in your room

Where we would lie, intertwined, till the break of noon and

I loved to watch you sleep, and I

Smell you on the sheets

Oh why does everything good end?

Now every smile that I wear is just pretend

Time tried to heal this, but I keep picking the scab

With every thought of you

Every thought of you

I’m gonna burn down the school

Where we used to go and fog the car windows

I’m gonna burn down the church

Where we used to go, cuz it reminds me of you

Turn this city to ashes

To ashes, we both fell down so hard

But I can't get on my feet again

I can still recall the scene:

You and me, too young to care

As we stood on the pavement of the school playground

The moon cast broken shadows of trees

On our vibrant silhouettes

As we danced to the song, ’Here's to the Night."

We couldn't even make it through the first verse

Without stepping on each other's feet

I know that night was four years ago

But I can’t forget the feeling or the smell of the air

Cuz that night was never meant to end

And in some ways, I don't think it ever did

I thought I could rely on my trust in you

Cuz I thought I knew you, but I was wrong

Now the odds that I will start a fire

Have increased greatly, now that you're gone

How do I go back to the way that things were before you?

Now that I've burned down the world that we used to know

I still miss you so

I watch the fire burning

Glowing flames remind me of your eyes

And candlelight we shared

I'll pick the scab until it bleeds again tonight
