I stayed up all night, determined to forget about you
Thought every bottle I did drain would do the job and get me through
But in the cold light of day your name took the place of my heart
Now I don't know where my resolve does end
Or where my indecision does start
Bless all those people walking in the street holding hands
And bless the thin-skinned desires that fold when I strike up the band
You made me swear an oath to the church of my head in the sand
But now I'm down on my knees again
Picking shards of you out of my hands
The forty endings to this story were all the same
You play the same cards every time
Drain the blood after the big flood
And drag my lifeless name through the mud
Dark, dark windows, won't you save me from myself tonight
I'm just in here washing my hands
But these stains ain't coming out tonight
And IMHO, your hat was on a little too tight
Should you come again to darken my door
I hope I'm running toward the light
The forty endings to this story were all the same
You play the same cards every time
Drain the blood after the big flood
And drag my lifeless name through the mud
Hey fallen star, in a two-buck-a-beer local bar
No that's not who you once were, but now it is who you are
I stayed up all night, determined to forget about you
Thought every bottle I did drain would do the job and get me through
But in the cold light of day your name took the place of my heart
Now I don't know where my resolve does end
No I don't know where my resolve does end
No I don't know where my resolve does end
Or where my stupid indecision does start
Where my stupid indecision does start
Where my stupid indecision does start
I stayed up all night determined to forget about you
