mama i know i told you that id be good
we both know i said id be lots of things that i never could
you know i never meant to break no thing by lyin
i just thought that i might never run out of time
so now im markin every minute down til the day i die
and before i go what i need you to know is that i loved ya
now were dancing like the first flame in a fire
we burn amber and ember all through the night
i never was too scared to leave my mind behind
from what i could take away you think i lost it all the time
and so ill write us a catchy chorus to sing to hell
bc i learned you cant get nowhere without help
so when i make it down there i wont sing by myself
and before i do what i need from you is...
there aint nothin out there worth findin
if you cant go out and find it for yourself
may burn some bridges wakin up out on park benches
but maybe someone on the other side will have a story to tell
when we all go to hell
