Do Better

Lying in the gutter
 And I'm struggling to breathe
 Picked a fight with my best friend
 He knocked out all my teeth
 My old man and his girlfriend
 Agree that I'm a skid
 They say that I won't change
 Ya they say that's just who he is
 But I'll do better
 Take everything I own
 In fact I never
 Once tried
 To lead you on
 It's just that you were dying
 On the cross
 And he was
 Burning down below.
 The only thing
 That I could think
 To help would be
 To watch you die alone
 I bet that you
 Were fun
 But the only one for me
 Keeps talking in her sleep
 It's just that I've
 Been burned too many times
 And I can't help you to breathe
 To think that this would change the way I feel
 Is something only you'd believe
 It's the only thing I
 It's the only thing I
 Could think of that
 You'd remember me by
 I don't know why
 But you were dying
 On the cross
 And he was
 Burning down below
 The only thing
 That I could think
 To help would be
 To watch you die alone
