Charcoal

When I last saw your face
It was staring down
And I heard your heart
As it hit the ground.

I overheard
What they said to you
But nothing hurts that bad
If you don’t believe it’s true.

But nothing hurts that bad
If you don’t believe it’s true.

And I will do my best
To keep it out
And I will try so hard
To keep the charcoal from your mouth

I won’t let your heart sink
But you’re different when you drink
I liked you better before
You were passed out on the floor.

Your endeavors are bound to change,
But please stay the same.

When I last saw your eyes
They were raining tears
But you stuck out your chest,
Confronting all your fears

That’s what I like about you
What takes you days well,
It takes me years

What takes you days well,
It takes me years

And I will do my best
To keep it out
And I will try so hard
To keep the charcoal from your mouth

I won’t let your heart sink
But you’re different when you drink
I liked you better before
You were passed out on the floor.

Your endeavors are bound to change,
But please stay the same.
