Headstone - Man Overboard

I know my eyes have bear witness to this whole scene before

When the road ends the nightmare begins

The fighting never stops and I will never truly win

«But make it count.

It’s plain to see.»

Sorry, but it’s not the most beautiful view from my knees

Tried to be a friend but I’m shot down again

I’m sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me

State roads, provide me with the privacy that I’ve never known

Going through the motions across the oceans

Or being so fed up with missing her I’m staying home

Lost at sea, I miss my family

My house and my street are so far away from me

Tried to be a friend but I’m shot down again

I’m sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me

I tried hard just to tell you the truth

But I know more now than I ever knew

I keep telling myself to forget about you

You and me were just a couple of kids who said

«We can do anything,» and that’s what we did

But my life will be a rock on your headstone

Begging you to never rise again

«But make it count.

It’s plain to see.»

Sorry, but it’s not the most beautiful view from my knees

Tried to be a friend but I’m shot down again

I’m sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me

Sorry, but I’m packing up and I’m leaving
