Vertigo

If you could notice me now, would you see All the envy behind those eyes they told endless lies And after all, the view's still black and white It's black and white Is it within where you'd absolve my sins And measure up the way that I have lived With all my good intentions? So every now and then I'll think of why it had to end It came and went Like a match that burnt at both ends Save your breath, we only get so many chances And after all we've been through I always knew it would end with you And I, what good am I? And I've known this all my life It's like you say "There's no easy way to escape" Rest assured I'm self medicated out the front door Is it within where you'd absolve my sins And measure up the way that I have lived With all my good intentions? So every now and then I'll think of why it had to end It came and went Like a match that burnt at both ends It burnt at both ends I'm self medicating Save your breath, we only get so many chances And after all we've been through I always knew it would end with you Save your breath, we only get so many chances And after all we've been through I always knew it would end with you Is it within where you'd absolve my sins And measure up the way that I have lived With all my good intentions? So every now and then I'll think of why it had to end It came and went Like a match that burnt at both ends
