I Know I've Said Worse
Glass in my fingers
Glass on the floor
Wine on the windows
You at the door
Another misfortune
Another wrong turn
Picking at floor splints
I'm sorry you're hurt
But if I paint the walls in silver
And sit there in my guilt
Like I'm waiting for a funeral
Like I'm waiting for your will
If I sit there soft and silent
They can watch me bide my time
While I'm waiting for a miracle
Turn my water into wine
And I'll drown my good intentions
Let my sorrow set the scene
Back and forth, here to report
The boozing wasn't cheap
What's a pound for some solace
What's a penny to stay sane
Once the crimson hits my lips
You know I'll let you in again
So drink me in
I'll bring you in
Sleep in the bathtub
Writing on walls
Carve my own gravestone
This sickness I've caught
Tell me you need me
Slip down my shirt
You tell me it's over
But I know I've said worse
But I won't pay you for sadness
I won't pay you for your guilt
Watch me sit here in our silence
Watch me watch our flowers wilt
Planting roots thick as cables
Calling names out in my sleep
But if you guide me to the bottle
You will find me at your feet
And I'll drown you with my laughter
And you'll drown me with your tears
Bottled up like holy water
Bathe me in your fears
And once both our hearts are broken
And once both our palms are clean
I will guide you to the bottle
And I'll find you at my feet
I'll drink you in
I'll bring you in
Can't separate you from my dreams
I'd find you in each man I meet
Chase shadows down a city street
In them it's only you I see
Bloodied my knuckles and I tore my sleeve
You swore to god you'd never leave
Bruised, blistered, begging on my knees
I'd die for just a little peace
So drink me in
Drink me in
Drink me in
Glass on the floor
Wine on the windows
You at the door
Another misfortune
Another wrong turn
Picking at floor splints
I'm sorry you're hurt
But if I paint the walls in silver
And sit there in my guilt
Like I'm waiting for a funeral
Like I'm waiting for your will
If I sit there soft and silent
They can watch me bide my time
While I'm waiting for a miracle
Turn my water into wine
And I'll drown my good intentions
Let my sorrow set the scene
Back and forth, here to report
The boozing wasn't cheap
What's a pound for some solace
What's a penny to stay sane
Once the crimson hits my lips
You know I'll let you in again
So drink me in
I'll bring you in
Sleep in the bathtub
Writing on walls
Carve my own gravestone
This sickness I've caught
Tell me you need me
Slip down my shirt
You tell me it's over
But I know I've said worse
But I won't pay you for sadness
I won't pay you for your guilt
Watch me sit here in our silence
Watch me watch our flowers wilt
Planting roots thick as cables
Calling names out in my sleep
But if you guide me to the bottle
You will find me at your feet
And I'll drown you with my laughter
And you'll drown me with your tears
Bottled up like holy water
Bathe me in your fears
And once both our hearts are broken
And once both our palms are clean
I will guide you to the bottle
And I'll find you at my feet
I'll drink you in
I'll bring you in
Can't separate you from my dreams
I'd find you in each man I meet
Chase shadows down a city street
In them it's only you I see
Bloodied my knuckles and I tore my sleeve
You swore to god you'd never leave
Bruised, blistered, begging on my knees
I'd die for just a little peace
So drink me in
Drink me in
Drink me in
