Great Confession

Putting these old pictures into frames

 giving these old ghosts names

 everything used to have its place

 now you're living out of a new suitcase

 Trying to make a new friend

 suddenly you're back at school again

 trying to hide how bad you could use a song

 like a house, been empty much too long

Ain't it a crime the way the years go rolling by?

once you had nothing but time and time was nothing

now you're up at dawn just waiting on another great confession/ now you're

staring at the business end of all your bad decisions

don't it seem like there should be some kind of lesson/ some kind of wisdom?

 Sometimes when I watch her sleep 

 I know how you feel when you look at me

 you spent all that time trying to keep me safe

 now I know how hard a heart can break

 When you're looking joy in the eye and all you feel is sadness

 so afraid to lose it doesn't matter that you ever had it

Ain't it a crime the way the years go rolling by?

once you had nothing but time and time was nothing

now you're up at dawn just waiting on another great confession/ now you're

staring at the business end of all your bad decisions

don't it seem like there should be some kind of lesson/ some kind of wisdom?
