"how many times"
Swallow my pride
Hands tight down at my side
I tap you on shoulder
Fumbling with words
I make up lines
Pass it off as sweet
You play with your hair
Trying hard to be cute
Can I refill your drink?
Until the room starts to spin
My shoulder is all that’s keeping you up
You won’t remember my name
But we fake a smile
And I follow you up the stairs
I taste the vodka on your tongue
Your neck tastes of cheap perfume
The finger prints on your buttons
Hold many faceless memories
Of bloodshot eyes and the nights before
I’m growing weak from the second hand kisses
But I’ve always been weak
Press you hard against the bed
Close my eyes and pretend that you’re her
Don’t pay attention to the marks on my neck
Ignore the scars on my wrists
Blamed on love and the tragic goodbye
She thought she had everything
All figured out
Over analyzing every tone in my voice
Loves not numbers and figures
She left me face down
In a cheap motel crossing out her face
From every memory we ever painted
Loaded hearts and empty bottles
Every lines the same
Concentrating on igniting the start
We couldn’t see how we were falling apart
Put a twenty on the table
Put back another shot
How many times
Can you say you love me with a straight face? |

...woah
I don't know if the images in my head are the ones you meant to transmit, but they (the images) were poignant and heart wrenching.
At the start I was seeing something like a college party where predators are handing out spiked drinks etc.
I loved the line about fingerprints on buttons and taste of vodka on your tongue.
Then into the second part I saw a cheap hotel where a $20 "escort" is leaving you after you've been trying to relive moments spent with someone else.
Very intriguing, leaves me wanting to know more.
Excellent work as your other stuff is. |
