The Worst Part

The worst part
Every hour of every day
Can you hear them
There's no escape

But the truth is
There's a line that we all cross
I've been crossed out
We all get crossed out

All the same sad lives
All the love that disappears
We are aching bones
And wasted years

We have few regrets
Save it for every night alone
In the sinking ship and haunted home

Out of the blue, out into the loneliest place
That you'll ever know
I carried the world just as far as I could
But the damage had taken its toll

You used to call my name
Every hour of every day
How I live to hear that sound
But every sound gets washed away
We wash away

We are not that strong
We have almost disappeared
All the love we shared
Was destroyed years ago

All the days and nights
Days of having lots of lies
As the clockwork creeps
On useless lives

Out of the blue out into the loneliest place
That you'll ever know
I carried the world just as far as I could
But the damage had taken its toll

You used to call my name
Every hour of every day
How I live to hear that sound
But every sound gets washed away

And the years have been unkind
We no longer have control
And we used to make a smile
Pursue the sound and lock the door
We are no more

I wrote a letter, a letter right from the start
I married the madness who left me alone in the dark
And down her a letter I'll shiver without you tonight

I did everything right
I did everything, I thought was right
I did everything right
I did everything, I thought was right
I did everything right
I did everything, I thought was right

You used to call my name
Every hour of every day
How I live to hear that sound
But every sound gets washed away
We wash away
