lyrics

when your mother left she gave you pearls
you threw them in the tub
declared the water home
you stayed there for too long
lost them to the drain
you told your girlfriend
it's what you meant to do
she thinks that you are the strongest man she's ever known

she'll feed you whiskey with a spoon
silver lining shining through
laugh so hard you've got to smile until you forget
what isn't true
like when your mother would tell you
stories of her past
choose what to remember cause nothing ever lasts

that night
i swear
i believed
in ghosts
you
brought her back
to life
she
gave you her blessing
she
named you son
asked you to make
mistakes in her name
you
made me one
I know you felt
better
and I won't tell
anyone

well, maybe you're just here because
you're looking for a crutch
i'll need a pillar
someday,
too
i don't care that you're using me
i tried to mind, but i couldn't do it
we don't
owe
each other
a thing
