better half

The Get Up Kids

I saw my better half
The better half of a decade
Slip through my hands inside her hands inside my pockets.
When she reached for her advantages I should have donesomething
I saw my baby boy digging his own hole
Keeping alive family traditions.
When he lied about intentions I should have done something.
Well, I blame myself for everything
It keeps my conscience clean.
I've got bandages to prove it.
