AshTray

 

It was one of those days, when I only want to slip away

One of those rainy days when nothing would let me rest

Oh…….its ok to be this lost, to not know your way

To where all your dreams remain

It was one of those days

When everything I froze in time

Came back into my mind

And all your kisses cant make me ok

And all your kisses cant make me ok

Because I’m still trying to find the way

All my sorrow is wearing me down

 

It was one of those days

When I smiled and said I was ok

Just one of those fucked up days

When I remember all the things I used to say

All those sweet prayers I used to say

Letting my eyes, dance with the angels above

If I was only good enough

If I had only been a little stronger

                                Followed the rules a little longer

 

But I was never good enough to taste your love

Always held somewhere above

Now I’m losing my mind, losing the time

Counting all these coffee cups and ash trays

Trying to make it all go away

I try to paint a smile, broken memories burning by

So sick of hearing the weak cry

It was one of those days, when I want to slip away

One of those days when I want to go back

To take it all back

To take it all back

If only I would have been good for you

Did all the things you wanted me to do

But I was never good enough, to taste your love

Always held above,

Now I’m losing my mind, losing the time counting cars, fading stars

 

Paint a smile on my face

Paint a smile on my face

Try to erase, to erase

All your kisses cant make me ok

                                So sick of wanting more, faking this

Pretty eyes, these pretty blinded eyes

Only want to find a way under the sky, behind the clouds, under the waves, losing emotion,

Now I’m losing my mind, losing time, counting car, fading stars

 

It was one of those days

One of those days
