Recorded in Audacity, tweaked in Audition.

lyrics

Broke down and busted, feeling disgusted
At losing my once-sacred fire
Like the horse in the story that was never-ending,
I'm feeling stuck in the mire
My friends all tell me not to be worried
That the moment will pass me in time
But I know I'll see you and you''ll have the same name
But your face will be different from mine.

Because it's
One, two, three times you left me
And
Four, five, six reasons why
I've got
Seven, eight, nine tears to cry for you
Before I find
My own perfect ten.

Gut-shot and bleeding, my hair-line's receding
I'm still getting older with age
My fingers are tingling and the Braille keeps mingling
Along with the words on the page.
Well, I loved you and I miss you, but I don't regret you
Except when the mornings are cold
Then I lie here trembling, my features resembling
A sucker with a heart of fool's gold.

Because it's
One, two, three times you left me
And
Four, five, six reasons why
I've got
Seven, eight, nine tears to cry for you
Before I find
My own perfect ten.

Because it's
One, two, three scars you left me
And
Four, five, six reasons why
I've got
Seven, eight, nine tears to cry for you
Before I find
My place in the sky.
