Lyrics:

Don’t go borrowing trouble, that’s what you used to say

But we don’t keep in touch the way we used to nowadays

Your eyes are not as bright as I remember them to be

The light inside’s grown dim and that’s hard for me to see

The creases on your forehead run like treads on a tire

The white stripe running through your bangs a long, twisted spire

You’re sweeping up the floods and you’ve been vacuuming the fires

And you lay down every night next to a goddamn liar

You may be here today

But tomorrow you’re a ghost

I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay

Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue

Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away

Strong enough to love you when you’re wrong

Someone strong enough to love you when you’re wrong

When the day is winding down, my heart abandons me for you

You forgot yourself so long ago and I wish could too

But you live inside a quiet hell no one can pray away

Leaving would be easy, I understand why you stay

You may be here today

But tomorrow you’re a ghost

I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay

Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue

Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away

Strong enough to love you when you’re wrong

Someone strong enough to love you when you’re…

When you’re wrong

You’ll be wrong if you were thinking that we all don’t fade away

Like dewdrops in the dawn, like sunbeams through the haze

It’s a long way to be sinking holding tightly to the weight

Of the one who pulls you down while you slowly waste your days

Someone strong enough to love you when you’re wrong
