Lyrics Headstone - Man Overboard

Headstone

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
