For Want Of Lyrics

I? believed?emory might mirror no reflections on me,
I? believed?hat in forgetting I might set myself free.
But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat
And then I choked.
I bled? tried to hide the heart from the head.
And I? said I bled?n the arms of a girl I'd barely met.
And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground
And then I drowned.
And if I can't see it? for want of?ou
You said, I see
If there's nothing here then it? probably mine
My?y turn to see?f there's nothing here it will always be mine, mine
But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat
And then I choked.
I? guess I've learned the taste of days that will always burn.
I? guess I've learned if it? in the corner of my eye I can't always turn.
And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground?nd then I drowned.
And if I can't see it? for want of?ou
You.
