Trashbag Ponchos - Floyd's Blues

I wrote this song so you'd stop calling me
Get off of my phone it's easy to see
That I don't want you around anymore
And that makes two of us
Your kid's all alone, 'cause there's no mom at home
Are you proud of yourself and the way you've moved on
How could you put that needle back into your arm
Well, it's been 3 whole weeks since I've had a good drink
And I'm itching for a self-destructive streak
I never wanted to behave so responsibly
When you left it hurt us like a sin
But nothing was worse than when you came back again
Please stay gone, go stay with your junkie friends
The man at the bar says, says I'm drinking too much
I say, "Hey man you only see me a few times a month
And those few times, I got nothing to do"
If I had it my way, I'd live and die faster
My life's a haunted house on the brink of disaster
Filled with your skeletons cause at your place there's no more room
You called me at 10, you fucked up again
I came down to the station as you cried in your hands
And the things I said I don't regret
I can count on two hands the birthdays you missed
You're dying for attention, and you're dying for a fix
You tried to be clear, but you didn't hear a word I said
I tried to write a song so you'd leave me alone
But just seeing you again, it brings back all my love
How could you do this to me
You drive me insane
I gave up on some dreams to make you a queen
But you ripped off your crown and tried your best to leave
And now I can't keep you away
The man at the bar says I'm drinking too much
And I say, "Hey man you don't know me quite well enough
And I think if you did you would understand"
If I do it my way, I'll live and die faster
My life's a haunted house on the brink of disaster
Filled with your closet skeletons 'cause I let them in
Heart in my hand, and my back to the wall
You're never quite as happy as when you see me fall
A kick to the teeth, and scratches on my face
You never miss a chance to put me in my fucking place
You treat me like a dog and I pretend like I don't care
But I'll keep you up all night with howling because we're the perfect pair
You can be my chest and choke me while I throw you up against the wall
But if you don't a grip then I'm afraid you'd never see me fall
Our love is like a race, and fuck it's hard to keep the pace
But if I said I didn't like it
I'd be lying to your face
