I am someone who, until recent events You shared your secrets with And your location You forgot to turn it off And so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog And pierce new holes in my heart You forgot to turn it off And it hits me I just don't understand How you don't miss me In The Black Dog When someone plays 'The Starting Line' and you jump up, But she's too young to know this song That was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming Old habits die screaming. You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time But I never thought I'd live to see it break It's getting dark and it's all too quiet And I can't trust anything now And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake Oh, I'm holding my breath Won't lose you again Something's made your eyes go cold Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong You're all I wanted Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now, I'm haunted I know I know I just know You're not gone, you can't be gone Six weeks of breathing clean air I still miss the smoke Were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke? Now I want to sell my house and set fire to all my clothes And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons Even if I die screaming And I hope you hear it And I hope it's shitty In The Black Dog When someone plays 'The Starting Line' And you jump up But she's too young to know this song That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of our dreaming Cause tail between your legs you're leaving And I still can't believe it Cause old habits die screaming Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong You're all I wanted Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now, I'm haunted Cause old habits die screaming
