Running with Scissors

To see him every day, guilt could go away

Oh, wouldn't I be perfect? Justice is cursed

There's only so much time I have to sit beside the dying

And I'm happily unaware, empty in a stare

Only in their prison, cloudy where they head now

And isn't it unfair?

I'm running blind with a pair of scissors in my hand

To keep him with me, hand-to-hand

He handed me his life too young

To back together, I'm in over my head

Oh, am I dyin' now? Walkin' through his hall

He greets me with a smile denies he has a child

I wonder if this version of him feels content with all he's done

He knows he sailed the sea, he knows he loved to read

He crossed the grandest canyon, he walked in early mornings

I wish I'd joined him more

I'm running blind with a pair of scissors in my hand

To keep him with me, hand-to-hand

He handed me his life too young

To back together, I'm in over my head

And every time I have to say, "Goodbye"

Don't want to part and then we'll never cry

It hits me later when I'm all alone

With my thoughts instead of holding onto us

For us, it's only me

And if I stop, I know he'll leave

Whatever's left of me he can recall

I'm over my head

And every time I have to say, "Goodbye"

Don't want to part and then we'll never cry

It hits me later when I'm all alone

With my thoughts instead of holding onto us

For us, it's only me

And if I stop, I know he'll leave

Whatever's left of me he can recall

Left with who I never had and who I never

Had, ah, oh

Mm, yeah, yeah

No, oh, yeah, oh

Oh yeah, no, mm
