America's Next Model - Hotel Books[00:00:00]
I wanted us to be model citizens[00:00:21]
So no one would ask us about our sins[00:00:23]
But there's an intoxicating thrill that comes[00:00:25]
With entering a home of love and finding skeletons in the closet[00:00:27]
And there's something about community that creates competition[00:00:31]
And something about competition that leaves me feeling uninvited[00:00:34]
And the ones that stain the healthy way[00:00:43]
And inspired my faith are the same ones[00:00:45]
Who are ready to jump ship[00:00:47]
The second thing turns to fifth and the path[00:00:49]
I'm on diminishes or the lights on the sides[00:00:51]
Of the road that I walk down fall dim[00:00:53]
And I'm sorry darling but you were the worst of it[00:00:56]
I used to feel alone when I thought that nobody loved me in truth[00:01:05]
But now I feel alone when I think about the way that you do[00:01:08]
You told me you didn't want me to fall asleep[00:01:12]
With bitterness in my heart so I guess I'll just stay awake[00:01:14]
You said you could tell me and only me[00:01:19]
And I wouldn't fall apart but you couldn't see me stand[00:01:21]
When I began to break[00:01:24]
And I was told that true character shows when no one's around[00:01:26]
But I felt like no one wanted me around[00:01:29]
And the sound of the ground being punished by my feet[00:01:31]
And the solitude I find when I put ice on my shaking knees[00:01:35]
Resound in a profound runaround of emotionally bound conclusions[00:01:38]
I came to I felt like I was going to drown[00:01:42]
And the bitterness you thought I felt was[00:01:45]
Just your own mind confusing bitterness with acceptance[00:01:47]
And fixing our broken home with wasting time[00:01:50]
Because you thought it would begin[00:01:53]
And sometimes I hear the crack on the windowsill[00:01:56]
And I miss the days when it had a picture of you and I[00:02:01]
And I miss the emotions that came with chasing after this thrill[00:02:06]
But mostly I just miss being a part of your life[00:02:10]
And I remember when you stopped saying[00:02:17]
I love you unless you were just saying I love you too[00:02:19]
And then I remember when even that was too hard for you[00:02:23]
And I remember the day that our blue suitcase on the top[00:02:26]
Shelf of my closet disappeared[00:02:29]
And so did the passion you had for me here[00:02:31]
And the fear of knowing you could leave me had vanished[00:02:34]
But so did the reason I ever felt purpose[00:02:37]
And it hurts to know that you said goodbye[00:02:40]
But I just thank god that you're alive[00:02:41]
And I'm happy that you're happy[00:02:44]
And my joy comes from knowing you were once mine[00:02:45]
And I'm grateful for that[00:02:48]
And even though there's so many words I wish I could take back[00:02:50]
I still thank my god every time I remember you[00:02:53]
I still thank my god every time I remember you[00:02:57]
