There are certain words
That sting as they leave your tongue
And echo in your memory for years after they are spoken
And you will always remember what I was wearing
And the pealing paint on the wall behind me
That you could only see clearly when you looked right through me

There are certain days that you will always regret living
They will haunt you in your sleep every lonely winter night
And you will startle awake to the sound of your own tears
And you will hate yourself
For not being strong enough to pull the trigger to a happier time
