Ten Whole Years

There's an
Echo in the bedroom now
Of this tear stained house
After he gutted it out
And I
Can't move from the bed sometimes
I couldn't prove his lies
So, I'll just pay for her crimes

And you can
Stop me if you've heard this one
Instead of sleeping with him
They say I sleep with my gun
And if another ten whole years goes by
No one would be surprised
They say there's worse things in life

So, I have been there
And I know you won't care
Why would anyone care
At all

Now, there's a constant ringing in my ears sometimes
All of the words swirl around
There used to be someone inside this carcass of mine
But all my confidence drowned

And I don't believe
In stupid God
I know there's no hope left
To hold on to
It's buried now in the past
Along with you
Somehow, I always knew
You were already gone
Now, I can't ask you to
Hold on
Why would you help me to
Hold on
Hold on
