Loved Ones (Excerpts From Speeches Of How Great You Were, And Will Never Be Again) lyrics
by Poison the Well
[Verse 1]
Sit across from you
Why are we even here?
There is no way to make up for the 20 years
I love trying to make conversation
When I couldn’t care less of what you're doing
What are you doing?
And I know you never cared 'til now
Cared 'til now
All my days go back to when you would scream
And it froze me
And it froze me
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess the screaming
It runs in the family
[Chorus]
You look tired and run-down
Are you even excited to see your baby boy?
Put a razor to the skin
Until we don't resemble each other anymore
[Verse 2]
Sit across from you
Why are we even here?
There is no way to make up for the 20 years
So now I see the tears welling up
Finally you care
I've waited, I've waited
I've waited for this
[Bridge]
It's always been over
It's always been over
It's always been over for us
A single tear, a last resort for all who've never felt
[Chorus]
You look tired and run-down
Are you even excited to see your baby boy?
Put a razor to the skin
Until we don't resemble each other anymore
[Outro]
Sit across from you
Why are we even here?
There is no way to make up for these 20 years
If I could flip this table
I'd stab you, I'd stab you
With every word that lied its way out of your head
