I'll protect you, don't be scared
No matter what, I will be there
I'll be gentle, I'll be light
These are the words you whispered in the night
Now I'm standing in the cold
Everything is said and done
Atomic winter in my soul
From the absence of the sun
My loneliness was a rattle in the windows
You said you don't want me anymore
And you left me
Standing on a corner crying,
Feeling like a fool for trying
I wish I could erase our memory
'Cause you didn't give a damn about me
The only remedy I know
Is I gotta let you go
But where were you when I was scared
A broken promise left me here
you say : "I'm sorry"
but I know you're not
I'll do everything I gotta do to get you off my mind
What you did, boy, I'll never forget
There will come a day when all of this is in my past
And there will come a day when you're out of my head at last
I'm trying not to fall
Damn it's such a long way down
But here I am
Laying down on the bathroom floor
Finally I'm through
Wasting all these tears on you
