Do you remember when we drank all night Well I don’t but Im told that I started a fight I trust you’d rip this heart apart Do you remember when we thought we’d broke Having a good time watching each other choke I trust you’d rip this heart apart Staring at the ceiling I fucken hope you hear me Screaming louder than the radio I trust you to come through and rip this heart apart Do you remember when we thought we’d broke When we drank all night

I thought I’d buried you deep in the bottom of the bottle I thought I could watch you drown with everything else Id forgotten Im making my knuckles bleed from banging them on this brick wall Disguising this bad luck with what I found in this bottle I cant seem to stand on this floor this room seems familiar But I can say thanks for the beautiful hangover I'm drinking towards excess I'm drinking to find success Who’s got a spare cigarette Sharing these lines of regret I cant feel anything its wonderful Let it bleed I'm making my knuckles bleed from banging them on this brick wall Disguising this bad luck with what I found in this bottle I cant seem to stand on this floor this room seems familiar But I can say thanks for the beautiful hangover I'm making my knuckles bleed I'm drinking towards excess I'm drinking to find success Who’s got a spare cigarette

In this city I have buried 100 faces 100 bodies In the cracks I have stumbled Over pictures Of us lovers I am lost even though I think I've been here before Tonight the lights alive they’re singing loud The light reflecting from the ground Do you remember we walked them proud Hand in hand like we owned them they were ours Best friends reflection My best friends reflection

Im happy to believe this is what I wanted Just one more minute please I know I don’t deserve it These grass stains on my knees show that Ive been trying And inbetween these lines is where Ive been hiding I think we can agree that Ive been lying Wishing for reprieve from all the writing Coz inbetween these lines Im disguising I get the feeling I'm the asshole You're an asshole Who's gonna watch me drown You're such an asshole Just watch me sink to the bottom of this bottle See me rise to the top look at me smile Coz in between these lines I'm disguising me Which one do you want to see I get the feeling I'm an asshole Who's gonna watch me drown Watch me sink to the bottom of this bottle Look at me smile I'm happy to believe this is what I wanted Just one more minute please I know I don’t deserve it These grass stains on my knees show you that I've been trying And in between these lines is where I've been hiding I think we can agree that I've been lying Wishing for reprieve from all the writing Coz in between these lines I'm disguising
