23 Teardrops

Light it up
Burn one down
Might be a while
Til' I'm coming back around
All this time
Chasing the dragon
I wonder why
Exiles happen

23, 23 teardrops falling
23, 23 teardrops falling

Now I recognize I never told you why
Never let you see the lows
Just my highs
Now it's my turn to sit and watch the sky
And pray that I see better
Once I dry my eyes

23, 23 teardrops falling
23, 23 teardrops falling
Had to lose so much to have everything
And now all that's left of me
Are these 23, 23 teardrops
23, 23 teardrops

On top of the world
Did everything on my own
Til' I heard the news
Got the call on my phone
Impossible now to try and pretend I'm strong
Be it I'm wrong
How can I carry on
If the pain lasts long
Even the game I love
I swear I'm the one
Should have been found tied up
I'll fly to ground
And now it's just me and God
This is what I've been praying on
Cause' I bet too much on things
That shouldn't have mattered
I said watch and learn
I know it you [?] shattered
I know when I traded you for the silver platter
And I'll be forced up in to the rafters

23, 23 teardrops falling
23, 23 teardrops falling
And to lose so much to have everything
And now all that's left of me
These 23, 23 teardrops
23, 23 teardrops
23, 23 teardrops
