There’s a twenty care pile-up in my head,
As I think of things that I should have said.
Instead, I watched you walk away.
Now I’m wishing that we both had stayed.

The truth is, I leave before I am left.
I stop listening before I become deaf.
I stop speaking before anything is said.
Every man for himself, ‘til we’re all dead.

The fact of the matter is that I care,
That is why I am so deathly scared.
The higher we climb, the harder we fall.
Then there’s nothing left, nothing left at all.

How do you give someone a second chance?
When will you understand I need romance?
When will I take accountability?
It isn’t even about how you treat me.

The truth is, I leave before I am left.
I stop listening before I become deaf.
I stop speaking before anything is said.
Every man for himself, ‘til we’re all dead.
