Broken clocks

They tick and tock
Yet they just not quite right
Two times a day isn't enough
I thought you had a past
I got a past we must be perfect
I was the car you were the mechanic
if we crash then tomorrow well be fixed
Sounded so nice at that point
I didn't think the car would get totaled

Tell me those lies
Fill my head with things that ain't right
Imprint those sweet nothing's in my brain
Ignore all the pain
Carry on with the show
Can't you hear the applaud
Of the audience that isn't there

My mother always told me
Buy a man shoes
And he'll walk out in that pair
Those pair of toms
Might of made me stay
That was the sign I was praying for
They represented the disappointment
I would of felt in the long run
My point that I was never number 1
Just a side thought
In the middle of the day
I would've stayed
I could've beared another day
I couldn't bring myself too

I had poems for you on the back burner
The words just never expressed my love
They couldn't sum up my gratitude
You saved my life
I'll never forget it
Or turn my back when you need
But there goes that fantasy
If you didn't need me
When I was here
Why would you need me
When I'm not there?
