Won't you miss it all after it's all gone?
Sitting alone on you lawn.
Watching the sunrise by yourself.
Putting your feelings up on a shelf.
Passing time to forget the loss.
Knowing the price and the hidden cost.
Fighting a losing battle with yourself.
Putting your feelings on that shelf.
Another corked bottle called pain.
A way you consider sane.
Storing away your everyday pain.
Hoping that tomorrow won't be the same.
So you assume the blame on yourself
and keep those feelings on your shelf.
You lie and cheat yourself every chance you can
and you love to keep telling yourself, You're the man!
