We were waiting as the summer was fading to fall
We had each other and nothing else really ever mattered at all
But things got out of hand
You made choices I still don't understand
And now I got my back up against the wall
And my back up against it all
I was hoping that you just might choke on your words
And I would watch you struggle while you murdered (?) something that's completely absurd
But it makes no difference now
We are f*cking each other over somehow
But we all got our backs up against it
Oh, sweet suffering
I never get too far from that familiar state (?)
It don't matter if I hope or pray
It's always been the same for me
Oh, sweet suffering
Maybe in time we can find a way to make this right
I'm sure, I'm sure we will
But maybe tonight, I hope you hardly sleep awake
Maybe you think about the sh*t you put me through
By sitting there all alone tonight
With your back up against the wall
With your back up against it all
