It's been a month since the Fourth of July 
Stood there and stared at the grief in my eyes 
Leave it to me to live out a lie 

So I sat on the curb and I cried like a child 
Catching my breath just walk for awhile 
And I thought of what could go wrong 

I'm already gone 
Don't say a word 
I can't hear you 
Don't hold me close 
I can't feel you 

So I stopped at the store to grab cigarettes 
Couldn't say it out loud couldn't fathom it yet 
You finally feel and we feel like this 

I'm sorry just wasn't enough destroying your faith 
Preserving your [bad word] we couldn't choose 
And neither could I 

I know that I left you for dead 
Don't give up so soon 
Because you know that we all have a bed 
It's waiting for you in the recovery room 

Just forget everything that I said 
Washed out the wounds 
Walls painted red 
Waiting for you in the recovery room 

She stood there in her summer dress 
Wind caught her hair and failed to confess 
I smiled as we raced through the night 
My hand caught her wings then nothing felt right 

I know that I left you for dead 
Don't give up so soon 
Because you know that we all have a bed 
It's waiting for you in the recovery room 

Just forget everything that I said 
Washed out the wounds 
Walls painted red 
Waiting for you in the recovery room
