---

you sit and look at me and know i’m dyin’
and i sit and look at you and know you’re goin’ to live

and neither of us knows what the hell to do about it

you feel guilty that i’m the one who bought it
and i feel awful that you’re feelin’ that way

and neither of us can change the way we feel

you keep lookin’ at the time
and i’m afraid to look at the time

and neither of us can slow down that piece of shit on the wall

you’re tearin’ up your guts with my pain
and i’m having trouble watchin’ your sufferin’

and neither of us can walk away from the truth

you’d take my place in a second
and i’d never let you in a million years

and neither of us wants the other to be left alone
