Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've hardly been outside my room in days
'Cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away
And it was then I realized that conscience never fades
[Verse 2]
When you're young, you have this image of your life
That you'll be scrupulous and one day, even make a wife
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross
And if you happen to, you wake completely lost
[Verse 3]
But I will fight for you
Be sure that I will fight
Until we're the special two once again
[Verse 4]
And we will only need each other
We'll bleed together
Our hands will not be taught
To hold another's
'Cause we're the special two
And we could only see each other
We'll breathe together
These arms will not be taught
To need another's
'Cause we're the special two
[Verse 5]
I remember someone old once said to me
That lies will lock you up, with truth the only key
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell
And couldn't see this place could soon become my hell
[Verse 6]
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well, I guess the answer is, don't do it in the first place
I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now
Ah, but if by chance you change your mind
You know I will not let you down
'Cause we were the special two
And we'll be again
[Verse 7]
And we will only need each other
We'll bleed together
Our hands will not be taught
To hold another's
'Cause we're the special two
And we could only see each other
We'll breathe together
These arms will not be taught
To need another's
We're the special two
[Verse 8]
I step outside my mind's eyes for a minute
And I look over me like a doctor lookin' for disease
Or something that could ease the pain
But nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on by yourself
Just remembering, just remembering how we were
[Verse 9]
When we would only need each other
We'd bleed together
These hands would not be taught
To hold another's
We were the special two
And we could only see each other
We'd bleed together
These arms will not be taught
To need another's
'Cause we're the special two
