The cinematic after effects of alcohol

Have led me to believe


That there's nothing more beautiful


Than a face as it starts to fade




From your memory


What had once been clear as the day

Obscured by the shade


And I was always the thorn to your rose




A long string of disappointing days


Led me to concede that I'd been losing sleep


And I'm tired and frayed at the seams

And things are changing in me





It's been two hard months

Since I could call you my own, it cuts to the bone


Is there anything that I can do


When I've been turned into stone?




But I was always the thorn to your rose


Some doors are better left closed




You move like a rolling wave


One that don't fade when it's gone

Beyond a doubt it gets so hard


That a stone would cry out




I know there's a lesson in here


But it's so hard to find


I've been searching my mind




A little pearl of wisdom for the later years


When the thread of this life starts to unwind




I never had to fight for my love


But that's over I know

It's just how it goes




I never had to fight for my love


But that's over I know

It's just how it goes




And you move like a rolling wave

One that don't fade when it's gone


Beyond a doubt it gets so hard, it gets so hard

That a stone would cry out




Some doors are better left closed

Some say this place makes it hard to hold your head up

Some days this face makes me feel like I've been set up
