What Isn't, Ain't

Should have stayed
Should have stayed in the water
Should have made
The way to write a new song

But when I shake a knife
And shine a light
That's the kinda shit that's keepin me up alone at night

And when I recognize
A compromise
You're always mad at me

What's my life about oh I don't wanna know
Tell me lies cause I don't think that I wanna know
Hanging lights throwing shadows against the wall

So I'm trying to discover
I take a long look
At the universe again

And a strummer
Made me dumber
I tore the whole thing apart
Trying to make it right
And my mother
Under covers
Who the hell could she tell I was trying to survive

I'm changing hearts
I'm changing minds
I'm letting strangers
Sleep tonight
And friends
They don't apologize
For playing their parts
In alibis

Everyone gotta face the chemical heart
Weighs a ton I don't think I could tear it apart
Yeah, who wants a woman
That wants you?

Anyone want to take this stranger apart
Everyone wants a piece of this delicate heart
Well we'll call it a loan
