Forget me now please
I'm begging you not to remember
Don't think of calling me
Erase my name by December
...
I'm flirting with Death
He's got one hand on my knee
This is Russian roulette
But no guns are going off for me
...
When you look at the ink so deep in my skin
Look not for the picture but for the story
Ask not for why I did it but for the meaning
For the history of to whom I owe the artistic glory
...
Thats somebody's little boy out there
Getting shot at on the field
Thats somebody's baby
In more pain than anyone should feel
...
We had something so gorgeous
Right there in our hands
Together we looked it over
And together we understand
...
Was your blood ever on her hands
Did she ever see you cry
Has she ever kissed your scars
Was she there when you wanted to die
...
Don't worry about loss
I am here until the end
Hand-in-hand I'll stand with you
As lovers and as friends
...
I think back to our relationship
And how for you I took the fall
We were something special
We could've had it all
...
Sometimes the only thing that listens
Is the paper on your desk
The only one to confide in
As the sobs heave your chest
...
I'm sorry that I made that choice
I'm sorry I thought wrong
I didn't know that you were weak
After you'd pretended to be strong
...
