lyrics

Hey Dear Johnny, I got something to say
I love you so much… I’m leaving today
Already packed up everything in my room
Wasn’t meant to be me and you
Maybe I’m a coward, a little scared
I’ll accept my role in this end
But I see we ain’t the pair
We were when we started this affair
Can’t keep drinking, can’t keep fighting
Can’t keep loving you, can’t keep crying
There are demons in both of us
Kicking and screaming, making a fuss

About this… We’ve missed…
Beauty for ugliness
With this… Goodbye kiss…
I will begin again

Dear dear Johnny, it’s those things that you say
The look in your eyes, intense gaze
The passion in your voice when you speak about
Things you believe, have no doubts
Feel like I’m living in your glorious wake
It’s all too much, I’m starting to fake
Meaning, there’s no meaning, there’s no meaning for me
I lose myself in what you believe

About this… You’ve missed…
Beauty for ugliness
With this… Goodbye kiss…
I will begin again
I will begin again
I will begin again

Can’t stop drinking, can’t stop fighting
You can’t stop loving me, I ain’t buying
There are demons in your head
They take up the room in our bed
Feel like I’m living only half awake
You don’t hear me, I scream in your face
Meaning, there’s no meaning, there’s no meaning no more
… You’re such a bore

And this… We’ve missed…
Beauty for ugliness
With this… Goodbye kiss…
I will begin again
I will begin again
