The lights are out

I can hear the rain

These haunting images fill my eyes

To keep my fingers from making the same mistakes

Makes my voice

To try and speak up

So my conscience will be clean if I wake up

This won't be easy

Because I want you to mean it

Jolene, just say that you'll mean it

Your looks are dressed to kill

I'm calling you hoping

You won't waste your time on me

Now there's an aching in my back

The stabbing pain that I have lacked

Along with all common sense and self confidence

Will bring an end to all my promises

I have made in my times of desperation, lacking conversation

To hope that my night will end better than yours

Just tell me when....

I never told a lie

But that still makes me a liar

I never made my bed for I gamble with my desires

I never lit a match with the intent to start a fire

But the flames of my life is getting out of control

Call me by my name

Or kill me with words

Please forget about me

It is all I have deserved

You were my chance

To escape this life

But I ditched you and you left me

Wait outside

Let the open air serve as a reminder

That my heart is as cold as the winds on your breath

And my words are as timid as the beating of my heart
