Traces (Portion of the Price)

Blame usually has an echo
It's lonely at this time of night
A week old apology, enough just to pay
A portion of the price

Don't know if you're gone for good
But how would it help if I knew
For I was just "jealous" and you were just "bad"
Laughable to be misconstrued

Feed our desires, right through my teeth
Take what was yours, burn the bridges between
Yeah I've been that liar, I've been that thief
I had to be them before I could be me

Worthless I know but it's true
It still lives in the things that I do
A part of me never got through
Sure I'll tell a lie
That I'll be just fine with traces of you

You say I'm the ghost of my future
I say I'm the sum of my past
Even the smallest of promises fade
But guilt fucking knows how to last

So gather in my arms honey
Our world's about to end
We'll lose control no matter how
Slow we take this bend

And when your tears hurt me
I swear every time you
Become more beautiful in songs I write

Tragedy cursed me
Doom's on your side
Our love won't make it out alive

Worthless I know but it's true
It still lives in the things that I do
A part of me never got through
Sure I'll tell a lie
That I'll be just fine with traces of you

It's true that we were meant to be
But know that we weren't meant to last
So go now and let it all be
We had just enough
For perfect was way too much to ask
