I spoke of us, in past tense When you were standing right in front of me Blamed it on my thoughts that my words had rearranged Then used my words to tell you that my thoughts were to blame Was sorry that I loved you, not that things had changed And you struck me like lightning With a flash and a bang And I waited to get hit, my heart beat the same way My heart beat the same way I was frozen in place, when my telephone rang Though undeserving the thoughts I serviced Were the first that came My relief hadnt felt as guilty as when it wasnt your name You got things to say and I give you lines where they can hang Swallowed up by the ocean In the white rippling waves And we sink to the bottom, call it an embrace Call it an embrace My flavor of pains been seasoned with all the reasons I could never change My flavor of pains been brewing long before you and me were even a thing And although I served it in so many ways it served us both just the same No matter how bad it tastes Still need a drink So we ran for the horizon, in hopes to escape The fact that when we both got home I still had my own place Like a homicide we drew our chalk lines just to leave a trace Holding the truth between us lying face to face Keeping pulse on the bloodlines We can never erase Spent our lives filling shoes, our love digging graves Our love digging graves My flavor of pain was altered when my mother took my fathers name My flavor of pains been brewing long before you and me were even a thing And though I tried to stride at my own pace we cant survive the human race Still need a drink Still need a drink Still need a drink My flavor of pain was seasoned with all the reasons I could never change My flavor of pains been brewing long before you and me were even a thing And though I served it in so many ways it still served us both the same No matter how long it takes Still need a drink
