Firewater Lyrics - Yellowcard

You sat me down beside myself 

To show me all the reasons I was wrong for you 

Was this for real, it's hard to tell 

'Cause it was such a beautiful mess we had got into 

I'm gonna overcome this 

Paper hearts can't win this time 

And all along I should have know this 

It wasn't your dream, it was mine 

I know you wanted me to give up this life to be 

Everything I was back when you had the hands my heart was in 

I was never good at goodbye 

Can I swallow this bottle whole 

So this brain in my head can forget your face 

When we were starting out 

You believed in me without a doubt 

You were the finest thing that happened to a boy like me 

It's so much harder now 

I want to try and tell you how 

There is so much love in me 

Even though it's hard to see 

And I was never good at goodbye 

Can I swallow this bottle whole 

So this brain in my head can forget your face 

Can I swallow this bottle whole 

'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes 

Today I couldn't stay awake 

Feels like I'm drowning in this firewater lake 

I won't be sleeping much tonight 

It's not the same without you lying by my side 

Right beside me 

Can I swallow this bottle whole 

So this brain in my head can forget your face 

Can I swallow this bottle whole 

'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes 

I know you wanted me 

To give up my heart to be everything I am 

And you're the only thing that I can see 

I'm sorry, but you're not the only one for me 

You left me here beside myself 

Left me with all the reasons I was wrong for you
