I only meant to hold your hand down by the meadow
But I was too old to see
That the roses in your hair meant more than I expected
They hung around to watch me bleed
This is the wrong side of the line I’m standing on
This isn’t where I thought I’d be
An old guest in a new house I wandered through by chance
This isn’t where I thought you’d be
The way I cut makes me feel like I’m the killer
Lost inside of your bad dream
I never meant to leave the lock off of the kennel
I am not myself today
Another chance to prove these tools I use are never broken
Another chance to prove I’m never wrong
A better way to face the day is two eyes always open
Another chance to sing another song
