heroine

The first thing i remember you were walking away
You were singing something gentle in the fade
The next thing i remember i nearly pushed you off the stage
I pretended not to be afraid
I played the fool
I played the drowning man
I will play your *******
I know the rules
You wrote them on my veins
I will play your **** ***
Im calling from the border of another nameless state
I am sitting on the steps of our mistake
I will bring you postcards of everything thats gray
I will draw your smile on my slate
I said i loved you
I said i needed you but baby i was wrong
Well that was sunday
And now its Wednesday and im feeling strong
Memorys a lover trying to tell you thatshes late
Memorys a silent second take
She will drink the poison if you put it in you cup
She will touch your eyes and never stop
