I've never seen a dream come true

When I wear my favorite shirt

Just to impress you now is very hard to do

Like a knife inside, the memory makes it hurt

There's the flower you threw on the stairs

Looks just as live as when you left

For the next two weeks I watch the colors creep

Into the graveyard that I keep beneath the steps

From my burnt out cigarettes

Where the rats have made a nest

Holding peanuts to their chests

Stay awake and watch the flowers die

Go to sleep and know the visions lie

And for the next three weeks you'll see another guy

In the mirror when you look beneath the hat

Behind the drunken cigarette

And the beard that hides the face

All this happened

One week I knew I loved you

At two weeks I thought I want to take this mirror off the wall

I don't like this dude at all

Take the razor to my face

Keep the picture just in case

Things don't work out like I planned

And you take another man
