A Thousand Days

(album: The Offspring - 1989)

Ask me no questions and I'll tell you
I'll tell you no lies
When all is said and done
Does it really matter who's wrong or right
Don't ask me for a reason, I cant explain
Why hurt one other again and again
As I lie bleeding here I still
Still reach for you

[CHORUS]
A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes

Your eyes are open now but you know
It's still hard to see inside
When action and intention
Are two separated things
Now I somehow wish I could explain
Why we hurt one another again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you

[CHORUS]

Forever we've been
Trapped by our hearts
Trapped by our minds
I'd like to leave
I'd like to win at love

But I just can't let it go
And I just can't watch it slipping away
And I just can't let it go
And I just can't stand another minute

Maybe now someday our shattered live
Will mend themselves again
But now a million miles away
I wish I still could
And though I somehow know, I can't explain
Why we hurt one other again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you
