Lyrics Front Porch Step

Front Porch Step

Drown

Well I'm so tired of the rain

Falling softly on the ground

Just enough to get my feet wet

But not enough to let me drown.

I've been laying in my bed

Wishing I had never woken

Begging God to rid my head

Of every word you've ever spoken.

Broke my knuckles on the wall

Because I thought about the call

Where you said you'd always love me.

Do you not tell the truth at all?

Well if I ever cross your mind

Make sure you write down the times

So I will know the moments

I was eating you alive.

And now I lay here

Waiting with the hope that

I might find some sleep.

I need some sleep tonight,

'cause I've been waiting on your call

But I know it will never come

But I'm still waiting by the phone.

And don't you dare (don't you dare)

Say you ever loved me

Or even tell me that you cared

'cause you knew what you were doing

And you know just what you've done.

How dare you say you miss me

With your spit still on his tongue.

I am broken I am beaten

I'm mistreated and I'm torn.

I am cold with no direction

But I'm lost without your warmth.

I'm trying hard to find some hope

That I might get the chance to breathe.

Get off my mind, give back my heart

And get the fuck away from me.

I know I couldn't give you much

But I know I gave my best.

You were always my princess

And now he's sliding up your dress.

And I know I gave the world

Everything I've ever had.

Johnny Cash said love would burn

I never thought it'd hurt this bad.

Well I'm so tired of the rain

Falling softly on the ground

Just enough to get my feet wet

But not enough to let me drown.

I've been laying in my bed

Wishing I had never woken

Begging God to rid my head

Of every word you've ever spoken.

Broke my knuckles on the wall

Because I thought about the call

Where you said you'd always love me.

Do you not tell the truth at all?

Well if I ever cross your mind

Make sure you write down the times

So I will know the moments

I was eating you alive.

You are the itch that's on my back.

You are the gum under my shoe.

You are the horrors of my past.

You are the chill that haunts the room.

You are the creaking on my steps.

You are cancer, you are plague,

You are regret, you are disease.

I wish that you would go away.
