Alkaline Trio Minds Like Minefields Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
When we both lost our minds
And our memories
Destroyed our common sense
And the letters sent
Suicidal tendencies
Deployed like a parachute
You had a hole in you
As we went tumbling through the sky
The only thing I'd change
Is the fear and rage
And the hell I put you through
So sorry

[Chorus]
And I can't get up the nerve
To look you in the eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings

[Verse 2]
I'm at a loss for words
As the tables turned
You placed me upon the wheel
In your torture chamber
My remains were
Left next to my last meal
Gone without a trace
You went off to taste
The fruit of the afterlife
As I sit and stir Nightmares recur
Haven't slept a wink
In forty days or nights

[Chorus]
And I can't get up the nerve
To look you in the eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings
Now and again
Forgotten friends
Crossing my mind like a minefield
Stopping to stare
Asking "do I dare defuse this or disarm my..."
"Disarm myself?"

[Chorus]
And I can't get up the nerve
To look you in the eyes as I'm leaving
And I can't go on
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings
Now and again
Forgotten friends
Crossing my mind like a minefield
Stopping to stare
Asking "do I dare defuse this or disarm my..."
"Disarm myself?"
