versions of you

Alkaline Trio

Are you feeling weak
Nobody ever taught you how to take a punch
You just took one in the guts

Are you gonna go and get yourself all balled up
Are you staying in tonight
Depressed to the nines
HEY!
And you re feeling like it s over
and you ve got it all summed up
How will we identify
With no one there by your side

Now with so many of them out there
So many versions of you
Do they all get a piece of me
From the memories you let go

I wish that you could hear me
I m finished here without you now
You said that you were leaving
But never said how

Well you made it and you got your wounds all dolled up
In the pity left in piles
But that was a while ago
Now it s mostly blown down the road
HEY!
Move along once we are all used up
And there s no one left to blame
But then you know
Most folks don t appreciate that anyway

Now with so many of them out there
So many versions of you
Do they all get a piece of me
From the memories you let go
If you still need some motivation
Well look I m letting go too
And I m so much lighter now
I m no longer holding you

You traded in your leather for a denim and a polaroid
Put it up for sale in the mail for your brand new boy
I couldn t tell you just how long it s been
I can only say how fully disappointed I am
HEY!
I dropped you a line
But you burned right through as you began to climb
I left you note
Saw it fade in the sun on the street with our hope
