lyrics

i saw the porch light on as i came to bail you out
from your prison
from your hell

you looked at me with those big evil eyeballs
what was i to say
who was there to blame

look at the sunlight as it dawns all around us
we spent all night here
we shouldn't fight here

And from the horizon your captors will see us
like smoke signals
burn the fire high

But i’ve come to the end of my rope with you
And i’m not going to keep fighting for you
If you push me away, i’ll go
and i’m not looking back

And on my worst nights who do i turn to
If i can't trust you
where do i turn

While you're consumed by your own substance
my substance
will have to do

But i’ve come to the end of my rope with you
And i’m not going to keep fighting for you
If you push me away, i’ll go
and i’m not looking back

But if i look back
What will i see
Will you remind me of the girl i met
When i was 17

Will i remember how great things were back then
before you disappoint me
All over again

But i’ve come to the end of my rope with you
And i’m not going to keep fighting for you
If you push me away, i’ll go
and i’m not looking back
