I LOVE YOU, DON’T YOU KNOW?

DON’T YOU KNOW?

Here I sit by the ocean side
Skimming stones
Against the tide
Thinking about how it all started
For you and I
The sand, blowing in the wind
No long hair to blow no more
You wanted me to cut it short
I guess I'll never win
When we're grey and old
Maybe I'll share this story
I never told
Standing in the rain
You're freezing cold
As I say goodbye
And let you go
You watched me damn my soul
Who knows if I'll see you again
Until then
I love you, don't you know?

I had to leave
I had to go
I had to grieve
Innocence, so
I left you see
Cus I was low
To save you grief
I live alone
Drinkin Wine and Hennessey
Turning my heart to stone
I didn't know how else to be
So I left you on your own
I set you free
I sniff my coke
For you, no misery
And now I'm broke
I don't know the man I see
My face clouded in a grey white smoke
The words 'addict recluse' define me
Until my blood runs cold
A long sat bath, no plug chain to set the water free
The corpse of a man that's grey and old
Inside a wooden box, nails instead of lock and key
Leaves behind his gold
As you say goodbye to me

Here I sit by the ocean side
Skimming stones
Against the tide
Thinking about how it all started
For you and I
The sand, blowing in the wind
No long hair to blow no more
You wanted me to cut it short
I guess I'll never win
When we're grey and old
Maybe I'll share this story
I never told
Standing in the rain
You're freezing cold
As I say goodbye
And let you go
You watched me damn my soul
Who knows if I'll see you again
Until then
I love you, don't you know?
