I have it in me 
To meet my maker 
And ask him why he likes to play 
Such sick games with hearts and brains 
But i'm finding reasons 
To keep on breathing 
And learn from past mistakes 
I'm heading down hill 
With no lights 
Or breaks 

I carry scars from my former loves 
Bury our passing and holding our hands 
You kick the dirt to cover up the holes 
I stand before you a new man 
So I disarm 
I'm as open as a child's love but 
Still as uncertain as the where abouts of that 
Lost ring 
That you're looking for 
You're still looking for 
That you dropped somewhere 
On the dirty diner floor 

And I still remember 
The reasons why we 
Dropped everything that we were doing 
Just so we could fall asleep 
Some words that I said 
Have made some dents in 
Your delicate outer shell 
We can nurse this back to health 

poised for battle, i'm invincible 
i've had it made see i'm armor for skin 
You approach, you're finger outstretched 
You're plugging my only defenses 
So I disarm 
I'm as open as a child's love but 
I'm still as uncertain as the where abouts of that 
Lost ring 
That you're looking for 
You're still looking for 
That you dropped somewhere 
On the dirty diner floor 

But now you look at me with those eyes 
You tell me all those things you despise about me 
We can throw the furniture around 
And all the things we found 
And you could lock the door 
Leaving no way out 
I'm having conversations 
With the back of your head 
We're sleeping back to back 
On each side of the bed 
If I could just touch your shoulder once throughout the night 
And when we wake in the morning 
We'll be alright
