Hold on to hope in spite of the loss
Cause I'd like to be remembered as the man I never was
And I'm filling in graves with those misspent old days
That I'm trying so hard to forget
And I can't forget them yet
Keep my eyes but burn my flesh
Cause you know I won't be happy till there's nothing left
Cause I'm empty as a bottle
Cause you know I'm not one for being subtle
And I won't be found where you last left me
Please write me down
Thoughts long bereft
See I would love to steal a page from your diary
But I can't steal a thing
Not your heart
No not a thing
Keep my eyes but burn my flesh
Cause you know I won't be happy till there's nothing left
Cause I'm empty as a bottle
Cause you know I'm not one for being subtle
Shake the ash from your shoulders
All those churches you fared
Not a bridge left behind you
And darling you ain't fit for a prayer
Oh darling
Oh darling
Carry me home
Carry me home
Carry me home
Carry me home
