I know that it haunts you

I know that it hurts just to think of that name

That it keeps you awake when you're trying to sleep

And I know how it kills you

How you beat yourself up for mistakes

But each new day the sun bleaches bones til the fade and I swear, it's exactly the same

And I hope you remember forever, the strength to get through

I hope that they realize exactly what they threw away

Through all the long nights, drunken conversations in barroom lights

Worn out like the records that saved our lives, they're more than static and spite

We've survived their worst tries

Now how bout some dry eyes

Breathe in deep and just control the stress

The damage is done now, let's fix this mess

I know that it haunts you

I know that it hurts how they left you this way

Abandoned and lost in a forgotten desert

A ghost town that sand stripped away

But I hope you remember forever, the strength to get through

I hope that they realize exactly what they threw away

Through all the long nights, drunken conversations and barroom fights

Worn out like the records that saved our lives, that we still quote all the time

We've survived their worst tries

Now how bout some dry eyes

Breathe in deep and just control the stress

The damage is done now, let's save what's left

We survived the snakes

We survived the wounds

We survived the liars

We survived the fools

Tell em, tell em, tell em all

I hope that they realize exactly what they threw away
