about

I wrote this song ages ago. I'm kinda getting tired of saying that.

I probably wouldn't have bothered finishing this song if I didn't have the idea to have Will on it. That kinda gave it new life for me. I hope you enjoy it.

lyrics

That look of shame on your face
It suits you so well, I hope it never goes away
I'm a fool, yeah, I know it
But maybe the next one
Won't be as gullible as me

When you say that you don't wanna see me again
I wonder what you say when you're drunk with your friends
Every bottle, every beer, every lit cigarette
I hope they taste of me so you will never forget

What you've done
And who you are
You're nothing more than a
Falling star

Burning up
And fading out
A tragedy we all could do without
So burn up
And fade out
Everyone is waiting to forget you now

Cuz everyone but you knows
You're on your way down,
yeah you're on your way down
And everyone but you knows
You're on your way down,
yeah you're on your way down

No you're not, I'm just drunk and I'm angry
I know that I still love you more
Than you could ever imagine
You're the barb inside my heart
And if I pulled you out, I know
The wound that it would open
Would never close
So will you be my poison
And my antidote
