Militant Me - Blow Me Away (Sad Pop Punk for Grown Ups)

Remember back when we were younger
The future seemed so bright and clear
So did you
So did all our dreams
Remember when we felt the hunger
The thirst for more kept us running faster
It’s true
But those were just our dreams
Let’s pack our bags chart a course and run away
Did you get what you wanted?
I’ve heard it all before and it goes
On and on and on and you say
Blow me away
Pull the trigger, put the gun to my face
Or just forget about it
Empty words and broken promises
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Lie to my face
Tell me you love me and then leave me in place
I can’t forget about it
These last ten years of building our family
Have all dried up along with my sanity
I had a dream of growing older
Hand in hand we’d face the world together and bloom
Like best friends and lovers
Like a couple of kids stuck in poetic tragedy
You packed your bags, took the kids, and ran away
Did you get what you wanted?
You say it’s all my fault
And it goes on and on and on
And I scream
Blow me away
Pull the trigger, put the gun to my face
Or just forget about it
Empty words and broken promises
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Lie to my face
Tell me you love me and then leave me in place
I can’t forget about it
These last ten years of building our family
Have all dried up along with my sanity
All in all, what did you hope for?
Where’s the kid who stormed out the back door?
But thirty years has come and gone and you’re still here
You’re still here hangin on
The years have passed and your dreams have faded
You got mouths to feed, and you feel separated
From the kid who dreamed that he’d have something more
The kid who swore…
Blow me away
Pull the trigger, put the gun to my face
Or just forget about it
Empty words and broken promises
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Lie to my face
Tell me you love me and then leave me in place
I can’t forget about it
These last ten years of building our family
Have all dried up along with my sanity
Blow me away
