Cho - I sit here in this quiet room
I draw the shades against the sun
If memories were painted birds
I’d line them up and get my gun.
1 - There are times when I think you will walk
through the door
Of the house that you lived in and smile when
you see me
There are times when I think I don’t care
anymore
But they don’t last long and they don’t fool me.
Cho - Repeat
2 - You drink your anger like a cup of wine
To stop you from shaking and make you feel
strong
But do you feel unsteady by the light of day
When you half remember that something’s
wrong.
Cho - Repeat
3 - You’ve made a weapon of your heart
I tried to stop it with my own
But all I got was torn apart
And all you got was more alone.
Cho - Repeat
