For Marlon
I broke my toesCause when I’m sadI get as clumsy as a stupid clownBut you’re way too young to understandAnd I’m way too desperate to be sane
So I fall for you like a fool for goldCause you look so pure and I love your voiceI can hear the cracks of your youthful heartAnd it makes me wanna beA part of that
Till I saidWhat’s there on your armYou said don’t look, please don’t askI know you won’t like to know thatI’m a recovering addict and sometimes I relapse
But if I get soberWould you swear to love meIf I get soberWould you care for me?
And as I was ready and didn’t care to doubtThe wheel has spin and left a droughtI thought I knew back then to never ever trustSomeone for who drugs come first
And I think there’s no loveBut just proof of loveAnd you’ve just proved meThat you’d never careAnd it’s been raining now for 3 days straightAs a sad reflect of my sorry state
And I remember you said with me you feltThe best that you’ve ever ever feltAnd I think that no drugs can replaceThe warmth and tenderness that we embraced
And if you get soberI will be here for youIf you get soberI’ll be yours for good
