Halfway House

Why are you so mad at me?
I never promised you I was ever going to be
Out of this halfway house
I need the medicine, I need the discipline
Think you see the wood from the trees?
Think you’ll make a man out of me?
Think again
What am I supposed to know?
I’m trying hard to forget anything that I might regret
I hope you’re not listening
Because I just wrote a melody instead of an apology
If you’re going to learn anything
Take a little lesson from me
And move on
So now we take an eye for an eye
What does that make you and I?
Such a mercenary fight
Trading our affection for lies
Such as, «I love you»
I won’t stick around for the ride
No not I
So now we take an eye for an eye
What does that make you and I?
Such a mercenary fight
Trading our affection for lies
Such as, «I love you»
I won’t stick around for the ride
Trying to find a safe place to die
What does that make you and I?
Such a miserable sight
Trading our affection for lies
As much as I like you
I won’t stick around for the ride
