Zachary (Maybe)

First, I'd like to admit that I'm not perfect
Truth be told, this ship is in distress
Abandoned in the storm, I don't deserve this
But you never learn so what did you expect?
You thought she'd change
You thought this all'd be rearranged

On the corner block of 5th and Madison
I became convinced I had found meaning
A love so beautiful yet so deceiving
The story of a work of art
That broke my heart
Ripped me apart

Tell me again, tell me again
How do you justify what you did?
Say it again, say it again!
If it helps clear your conscience
Tell me again, tell me again
How do you justify what you said?
Say it again say it again!
Eventually you'll have to be honest
And you'll know

By the sinking feeling in your stomach
The stubborn thoughts creeping through the back of your head
"What have I thrown away"?

I really liked our new apartment
Well, I guess it's your new apartment now
Hope it keeps you and your new boy happy
When he is gone in the morning
And you wonder how
You can't keep anyone around

Cups poured for both of us this evening
The first to runneth over wins
After one or two or three, yeah
And I'm texting you again at 3am
You won't reply
I'll die a little more inside.

Tell me again, tell me again
How do you justify what you did?
Say it again say it again!
If it helps clear your conscience
Tell me again, tell me again
How do you justify what you said?
Say it again say it again!
Eventually you'll have to be honest
And you'll know

By the bitter taste in your mouth
The stale smoke in your lungs that you can't quite cough out
"What have I thrown away?"
