I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station
When Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question
I tried so hard to not turn into my father
But if I only ever skip out his choices will I ever choose better
You deserve better
Adam Trask
Is on my back
And in my ears
The sound comes clear and brings the awful truth
That I can?t stand what I?ve done to you
And it?s written clear in my diary
Today should've been our anniversary
And I?m far away and I?m far apart
And you?re back home with a broken heart
And love is real and I can?t escape
I only ever have myself to blame
These failures shift and shape me in the night
Like a fever I can?t break try as I might
Wake me darling I need you to take me home
But I know
In the end redemption is mine and mine alone
So if each of us is made up of a tally of mistakes and successes
Then that hour in the restaurant makes my score less than impressive
I don?t think I can do this
