Man this is a goad kicking dust up along this road, a road I see for miles
I use to laugh at them fall those men who'd finally crawl that was when I was numb to it all

I'd fall away if not for something, some thread that I cannot even see
Like holding fire licking in my hands, you hold on to me

I remember when it was all new, I wasn't sick of all of you and your forced laughs and smiles
Now the problem's all mine 'cause I can't see the tears you're crying behind that teenage angst you hide behind

She's dying as I just stare part of me goes with her I don't seem care
Like a broken reed or a dying flame you hold on to us just the same

Except that you, you don't throw me away and you , you don't write me off like I do, it pains me to see when all the people around are just like me

I wanna thank you 'cause you don't throw me away and with a heart like this you don't write me off. That's what I do, I'm in wonder at the thought, your life for ours in eternity bought
