lyrics

Sometimes I write in couplets
Sometimes I write in prose
Sometimes I write in secret patterns
That nobody knows

I wrote it all down in a letter
But it never got sent
I think I burned it in my bedroom
I didn't know where you went

I squandered up my youth
And I wasted my prime
I burn the candle now at both ends
Just trying to make up some time

I wish you could have seen me back then
When I had nowhere to go
You were looking way off into the distance
I was under your nose

I didn't ask for this but I'm not gonna turn it down
I gave up a long time ago with trying to figure it out
It doesn't have a thing to do with the person that I am now

Secondhand cigarette smoke
On a cold winter's day
I wore a secondhand winter coat
I felt the seconds slip away

You were the first thing that I
Thought about when I woke up today
I can't remember how long it's been
I still don't know what to say

I didn't ask for this but I'm not gonna turn it down
I gave up a long time ago with trying to figure it out
But it's got everything to do with the person that I am now
I gave up a long time ago
