Daybreak
At the bottom of lake
It's a hundred degrees i can't breathe
And i won't get out
'til i figure it out
Though i'm weak like i can't believe
So you tell me 'trust me' l can trust you
Just let me show you
But i gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt
'cause i don't know if i know you

Doing fine but don't waste my time
Tell me what it is you want to say
You sin, you win, just let me in - hurry
I've been out in the rain all day
So you tell me 'trust me' i can trust you
As far as i can throw you
And i'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt
'cause i don't know if i know you

[chorus:]
Don't tell me you wanted me
Don't tell me you thought of me
I won't, i swear i won't
(did)
I'll try, i swear i'll try
(lie)

Mother mary quite contrary
Kiss the boys and make them wary
Things are getting just a little bit scary
It's a wonder i can still breathe

Never been much of a doubting thomas
But nothing breaks like a broken promise
You tell me 'bout your two more coming
But once is just enough for me

[chorus]

I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
She comes in apparently to fill the void
All dogs need a leash and
At least i'll forget it
And she would never hurt me though
She's never said it
But i'm not gonna ask her today
I don't wanna scare her away
Your town, i'm all alone
And i just can't stare at the phone
I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes
And you can tell your stepfather i said so

[chorus]
