About the Artist
Lyrics
I can't expel the truth It's much more than I thought I could do And with time, my worth will stay And split your heart from my name So drive away your mouth from my ears And waste a day so I can think clear And what's left to wait for here? As my hands sleep spent this last year Choking the bottle's neck That pulled you from my bed So drive away your mouth from my ears And waste a day so I can think clearly Drive away your mouth from my ears And waste a day so I can think clearly
