Vicious Devotion

Now this might sound one sides, and in a way it is
 'Cause it's just me right now looking back on prior instances
 I hope this doesn't lack the meaning I intend for
 Or come across to strong and make things worse
 I just think we could have been more, and still can
 I mean I could give a lot more of me
 More effort, less struggle, and a little more honesty
 Cause honestly, it's time to man up,
 I know you waited long enough
 I let things rumble twice, the time I won't jam up
 Still we've got issues, resolving is the key, obviously
 But your philosophies I hope you know at times are hard for me
 I want to see, but that novelty wore thin and lost its touch
 Somewhere along the way it lost us
 But I'm feeling better as the day goes by, still lacking motivation
 And if patience ain't your virtue, your mask it in concentration
 Getting stronger, night comes on,
 Not just going through the motions
 Cause if jealousy's our weak point baby,
 Douse it with devotion
 I'm trying to settle the score, you said you'd heard it before
 And what's more, I got the passion to change
 But not the patience to stop
 So when I said it was wrong I really meant it was not
 And we're not, and we can pick it up from where we left off
 It's summer trips to that airport, your soft lips
 The nights are just too short
 It's cigarettes through the window, old Pogues tapes
 Oh, where does the time go?
