as useless as i am

i have little left to give

take me out tonight

don't forget your jacket

bring it with the rest of you

ill be the one on the left

coughing up

any at best

waiting for your signal

a sound that's like your broken eyes

keeps following me

for hours on end

i try to pretend

this never happened

like the blind feeling for lines

both hands caught up in your hair again

and i fell out

you picked me up

broke in two

right where i left off

we're just enough alike

to make it worth your while

that should keep you smiling

i'll be the boy in the bed

hoping you'll just pass me up

move on to the next one

a night that's like your broken sigh

keeps following me

for days on end

i stretch and bend

how did i let this happen
