Lyrics
You and I could conquer anything life threw at us
Back to back, we wouldn’t fall without a fight
It was a comfort knowing you were always on my side
We knew the dangers of the chemicals that made us well
Taking the edge off was too easy an excuse
The worst came true
If I could, I’d follow you
But there’s too much left for me to do
I’ll see you in my dreams
If I could get some sleep tonight
I’m tired and my mind’s not right
And the pills still come with strings
You were down but I could never see you checkin’ out
One last hurrah to fix your final curtain call
If I had known, I would have busted right through the walls
A temporary problem solved with brutal permanence
I’ll always wonder if that’s what you meant to do
It all came true
If I could, I’d follow you
But there’s too much left for me to do
I’ll see you in my dreams
If I could get some sleep tonight
I’m tired and my mind’s not right
And the pills still come with strings
I never got to say goodbye
And that still keeps me up at night
I’m tired and my mind’s not right
And the days just pass me by
We can’t find all the answers that hound us
Raindrops fall on both the righteous and unjust
I can never fill the hole you left inside me
All I can hope is that you finally have been set free
The worst came true
If I could, I’d follow you
But there’s too much left for me to do
I’ll see you in my dreams
If I could get some sleep tonight
I’m tired and my mind’s not right
And the pills still come with strings
I never got to say goodbye
And that still keeps me up at night
I’m tired and my mind’s not right
And the days just pass me by
