Agnes just stop and think a minute Why don't you light that cigarette and Calm down now stop and breathe a second Go back to the very beginning
Can't you see what was different then? You were just popping Percocet Maybe just four a week at best Maybe a smoke to clear the head
Your head is so numb That nervous breath you try to hide Between the motions That trembling tender little sigh
And so it goes A choking rose back To be reborn I want to hold you like you're mine
You see the sad in everything a Genius of love and loneliness and This time you overdid the liquor This time you pulled the fuckin' trigger
These days you're rolling all the time So low so you keep getting high Where went that cheeky friend of mine? Where went that billion dollar smile?
Guess life is long When soaked in sadness On borrowed time From Mr Madness
And so it goes A choking rose back To be reborn I want to hold you like you're mine
You're gone but you're on my mind I'm lost but I don't know why
