Everything I Once Had

(album: The Honorary Title - 2003)

Everything I...
You were everything I once had
The bar on First Avenue, we went there solely for you
So you can flirt with my best friend
Kiss a girl, tell me why you're laughing

I wont hold on to this
There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months
There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed
For six long months

I won't hold on to this
February, Valentines Day,
did my best to avoid the red cliches
So you dumped me on the subway,
on my way to work at nine in the morning
Everybody else was holding bouquets
Now I'm holding my face in the basement
Scratching away for a trace
Of affection you will leave
Falling victim as the public's prey

I wont hold on
I can't hold on
I won't hold on to this

Saw a silhouette, the perfection
The outline of my dream
The blur that made everything
I had them put it all to shame

I just won't hold on to this

Anyone is suitable for you, I guess, tonight
You weren't fazed
It's over with
You my beautiful
You weren't fazed
It's over with you my beautiful
With your beautiful blue and white
