The Worst Part

The worst part
Every hour of every day
Can you hear them
There's no escape
But the truth is
There's a line that we all cross
I've been crossed out
We all get crossed out

All the same sad lives
All the love that disappears
We are aching bones
And wasted years

We have few regrets
Save for every night alone
In the sinking ship and haunted home

Out of the blue
Out into the loneliest place that you ever know
I carried the world just as far as I could
But the damage had taken its toll

You used to call my name every hour of every day
How I live to hear that sound
But every sound gets washed away
We wash away

We are not as strong
We have almost disappeared
All the love we shared
Was destroyed years ago

All the days and nights
Days of having lots of lies
As the clockwork creeps on useless lives

Out of the blue
Out into the loneliest place that you ever know
I carried the world just as far as I could
But the damage had taken its toll

You used to call my name every hour of every day
How I live to hear that sound
But every sound gets washed away

And the years have been unkind
We no longer have control
And we used to make a smile
Pursue the sound and lock the door
We are no more

I wrote her a letter, a letter to write from the start
"I'd marry the madness who left me alone in the dark"
Wrote down her a letter, "I'll shiver without you tonight"
I did everything right
I did everything I thought was right

I did everything right
I did everything I thought was right

I did everything right
I did everything I thought was right

You used to call my name every hour of every day
How I live to hear that sound
But every sound gets washed away
We wash away
