My head is a bitter mess
And I can't afford any cigarettes
I guess this is living at it's best
These days are days we wish away
These days my wishes slink away
I'm living, but it's deep within a haze
So remind me what I hold most dear,
And I will try, yeah, I will try not to fear
You were counting chickens before they hatched,
While trying to light a ciggie with a broken match
I never found out what it is that brought you back
And I was in the corner confused by your smile,
You told me all your lies would come true in a while
Before our peers found us guilty without a trial
So remind me what I hold most dear,
And I will try, yeah, I will try not to fear
You got your knickers in a twist, left lickety-split,
Then signed away your soul with just a flick of a wrist
Knowing damn well that you would be missed.
Now everything I've said you know I said it before,
And the answer to your question's on the back of my door
Now you just gotta figure out what you want more.
So remind me what I hold most dear,
And I will try, yeah, I will try not to fear
