i loved you enough to know

and that train still runs at 3 a.m.
every-time i step outside to ruin a little bit more of my
[lungs]
and the love birds on top of the house next door
remind me of what we once shared.

they coo at each other.
and snuggle
until one gets fed up
and flies away

oh.sugar.
that was always you.



and the early morning hour
makes me wonder what you're up to
and who graces your bedroom walls these days
"it'll give you back the feel of someone just like before"

and my tangled hair
and torn up life
remind me that once upon a time
i was perfectly fine
a real smile haunted my features
constantly.



i don't understand how the end of summer
the changing of the weather
the ice that's soon to come
makes me want to hit the road
"i wish you didn't have to go"
you made me your fool
and i had no problem with it.


and right here in this minute
i pretend i'm okay.
the sun's coming up
and i feel absolutely whole inside.


oh sugar.
you were always the devil in disguise.  with dark blue jeans and a baseball cap. soft hair and liars eyes. you were haunted. and i was sucked in.

"i can't stop"
