It's been a month since the 4th of July,
Stood there and stared at the grief in my eyes,
Leave it to me to live out a lie
So I sat on the curb and I cried like a child,
Catching my breath, just walk for a while
And I thought, "What could go wrong?"
I'm already gone, don't say a word, I can't hear you,
Don't hold me close, I can't feel you
So I stopped at the store to grab cigarettes,
Couldn't say it out loud, couldn't fathom it yet,
You finally feel and we feel like this
I'm sorry, just wasn't enough,
Destroying your faith, preserving your trust
And you couldn't choose and neither could I
I know that I left you for dead,
Don't give up so soon
'cause you know that we all have a bed
It's waiting for you in the recovery room,
Just forget everything that I said
Washed out the wounds, the walls painted red,
Waiting for you in the recovery room
She stood there in her summer dress,
Wind caught her hair and failed to confess
And I smiled as we raced through the night,
My hand caught her wings, then nothing felt right
I know that I left you for dead,
Don't give up so soon
'cause you know that we all have a bed
It's waiting for you in the recovery room,
Just forget everything that I said
Washed out the wounds, the walls painted red,
They're waiting for you in the recovery room
I know that I left you for dead,
Don't give up so soon
'cause you know that we all have a bed
It's waiting for you in the recovery room,
Just forget everything that I said
Washed out the wounds, the walls painted red,
Waiting for you in the recovery room,
Just forget everything that I said
