[Verse 1]

This rope’s too tight, baby, you’re hurting me

Every time I spoke, listening earnestly

Look what I bought you, I got a couple of flowers

And all the gifts that I made turning sweeter then sour

I can see the shadows round the frame of my bed

I wanna turn around and look but I’m straining my neck

People say that time is a healer in length

When after some of it’s passed, I’ll be regaining my strength

[Chorus]

28 days, 28 months

These shots I take, I just down em at once

Left you a note that was written in blood

Cause I hope when you read it, the emotions’ll flood

28 days, 28 months

These shots I take, I just down em at once

Left you a note that was written in blood

Cause I hope when you read it, the emotions’ll flood

[Verse 2]

You’re my best friend, I don’t want no replacement

No space in my heart for unfamiliar faces

I can’t let a stranger come and detune the strings

With every cord held tight and the pain that it brings

I could cry you an ocean but what good would that be?

Made a million tidal waves, looking past and can’t see

I would give you the moon but then my nights would be darker

I’m your guardian angel but I’m lacking the armor

[Chorus]

28 days, 28 months

These shots I take, I just down em at once

Left you a note that was written in blood

Cause I hope when you read it, the emotions’ll flood

28 days, 28 months

These shots I take, I just down em at once

Left you a note that was written in blood

Cause I hope when you read it, the emotions’ll flood

[Verse 3]

Fragrances gone, complacent and drawn

All ways point here like I knew all along

Said you were fearful that one day I would go

But I don’t think that it was me putting on a good show

Tightened up a black bag full of these clothes

I’ve never worn but they all fit, overshot I suppose

Diffusing perfume stuck tight to my sheets

With all the drinks I bought, leftover receipts

[Chorus]

28 days, 28 months

These shots I take, I just down em at once

Left you a note that was written in blood

Cause I hope when you read it, the emotions’ll flood

28 days, 28 months

These shots I take, I just down em at once

Left you a note that was written in blood

Cause I hope when you read it, the emotions’ll flood
