How did I get here?
|
And why the hell did it take this long?
|
I buried a best friend
|
Inside my trash can you left outdoors
|
And you dropped me in the mailbox
|
My face-paint still left on
|
And you accused I never loved you
|
I could say nothing to change your mind
|
|
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
|
My smile has become empty
|
Heard you've been looking for me
|
Come on, kid, you know where I would go
|
See, lately, lately, lastly
|
I would love for you to ask me
|
Where the line between my pen and mind's at war
|
And tell most the truth you know
|
|
My voice is a hatchet
|
It's forgotten how to whisper soft
|
My mind is a bucket
|
And it captures the rain
|
Sinking through the ceiling landing on the rooftops
|
You told me you were filled up with love
|
I said, "You've lost it"
|
You said a mess of errors
|
You know not what it costs yet
|
But I know, I know, I know
|
|
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
|
My smile has become lazy
|
I heard you've been looking for me
|
Come on, kid, you know where I would go
|
See, lately, lately, lastly
|
I would love for you to ask me
|
Where the line between my pen and mind's at war
|
And tell most the truth you know
|
|
Said, "I've lost it all"
|
I watched them burn all the pictures of good pain on the beaches
|
And oh, if this is rock bottom, then I say, "Goddamn, the view from here is breathtaking"
|
Oh, oh, oh
|
|
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
|
My smile has become lazy
|
I Heard you've been looking for me
|
Come on, kid, you know where I would go
|
See, lately, lately, lastly
|
I would love for you to ask me
|
Where the line between my pen and mind's at war
|
And tell most the truth you know
|
