Lyrics

When I was young I would talk through my teeth Throwing crabapples at cars in the street Now I left the lights on but still could not sleep For who knows if I pass in the night And I'd ask my brother "are you still awake?" If he said "yes" there was more I could take When there's no answer my heart starts to race All alone, til this day you're alone All alone, til this day you're alone Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Now when we got older and I moved away I left my family to look for my fate They looked for theirs too, it was not always safe I am prouder still that we tried For I wanna touch things that no one can see I wanna be someone better than me I met a girl once and tried to believe In something for once, for a while, just Something for once, for a while And I met the hangman once He had nothing to add For any sane man wants That, which they can't have Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh When she still lived here, at night she would sing Go and sit down beside me, talk serious things Talk action, intentions, remorse, and repentance What exactly do you want from me? Well, what I want, honey, I really can't say My feelings they falter and then fade away Til no one can get past the guard at the gates All alone, til this day you're alone All alone, til this day you're alone And I met the hangman once He had nothing to add For any sane man wants That, which they can't have Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh Oh, oh-oh
