Smoke the last cigarette
Savor the drink
Nothing at home for you
Just dishes in the sink
Get up for work again
Muddle on through
Deny all the facts you face
This life can't be true

Remember when you found out all your heroes had lied
They told you love hurt less after it died
They didn't understand that hearts easily break
Especially yours as if destined by fate

You find your self wandering
Day dreaming in the car
You think about mistakes you made
And the music stings your old scars
You don't talk to friends much
Cuz it cause more harm
Imagine their house on the hill
True love in their arms

Remember when you found out all your heroes had lied
They told you love hurt less after it died
They didn't understand that hearts easily break
Especially yours as if destined by fate

Remember the dreamers that we use to be
The plans that you made at a quarter past three
You stayed up till dawn to watch the sun come around
And the girl in your arms as you slept on the ground

Remember when you found out all your heroes had lied
They told you love hurt less after it died
They didn't understand that hearts easily break
Especially yours as if destined by fate

You remember the dreamers that you use to be
The plans that you made at a quarter past three
You stayed up till dawn to watch the sun come around
And the girl in your arms as you slept on the ground

But now you sit out on the porch alone
You see her face in the kids who are grown
One calls to check if you are your ok
And says they'll come by one of these days

In the dead of the night you wake up to scream
You sit up in sweat from another bad dream
You can see her ghost sleeping, next to you, in the night
In a house that empty your to tired to fight

Smoke the last cigarette
Savor the drink
Nothing at home for you
Just dishes in the sink
