For Want Of

For Want Of Lyrics

I桰 believed梞emory might mirror no reflections on me,

I桰 believed梩hat in forgetting I might set myself free.

But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat
And then I choked.

I bledæ¡° tried to hide the heart from the head.
And Iæ¡° said I bledæ¡°n the arms of a girl I'd barely met.

And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground
And then I drowned.

And if I can't see it抯 for want ofæ¢nou

You said, "I see"
If there's nothing here then it抯 probably mine
My桵y turn to see梚f there's nothing here it will always be mine, mine

But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat
And then I choked.

Iæ¡° guess I've learned the taste of days that will always burn.
I桰 guess I've learned if it抯 in the corner of my eye I can't always turn.

And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground�nd then I drowned.

And if I can't see it抯 for want ofæ¢nou

You.
