Present

She’s mixed up in drugs and all of that
Cool shit from the L.A. parties
Young love so numb “it’ll last forever"
No soul, we just want your body

The nights last a lifetime
If only you could see
That no one really matters here
But me

She cut it up with a credit card of mine
And I watched her, yeah I let her
Smiled sweet and passed a line to me
I said “no thanks”, she said “just leave"
I said, and she said
I said, and she said just leave

I messed up when I looked back
If it hurts, that’s good, keep going
Old habits burned into her skin now
“Tell me, is my breathing slowing?"

The nights won’t last a lifetime
If only you could see
That no one’s left to save you
But me
