The 8th Of October (To August 17th)
I let you down
Just like your father
I did not deserve you
'Cause you are the truth
The last time I saw you
Was the 8th of October
And when I left Brooklyn
We both knew it was through
And the worst day of my life
Won't be when they put me in the grave
'Cause that already happened
When I saw the tears
The tears roll down your face
When you watched me walk away, hm
I never said goodbye
Farewell, we tried
I asked for an angel
Well, I guess that God sent me two
The first one I forsook
But the second one is you
The best day of my life
Was when you saved it
On the 17th of August
God-damn, somehow, I made it
And this time I have learned
'Cause I was barely alive
But you gave me kindness
Now I'd carve out
I would carve out both of my eyes
Before I'd watch you walk away, hm, yeah
You saved my whole life
Ain't gonna fuck it up this time
Just like your father
I did not deserve you
'Cause you are the truth
The last time I saw you
Was the 8th of October
And when I left Brooklyn
We both knew it was through
And the worst day of my life
Won't be when they put me in the grave
'Cause that already happened
When I saw the tears
The tears roll down your face
When you watched me walk away, hm
I never said goodbye
Farewell, we tried
I asked for an angel
Well, I guess that God sent me two
The first one I forsook
But the second one is you
The best day of my life
Was when you saved it
On the 17th of August
God-damn, somehow, I made it
And this time I have learned
'Cause I was barely alive
But you gave me kindness
Now I'd carve out
I would carve out both of my eyes
Before I'd watch you walk away, hm, yeah
You saved my whole life
Ain't gonna fuck it up this time
