august

I'm not one to hate the summer Catastrophic lay in my bed lover I've got 27 records in the corner Wear a smile that i bought for a quarter There's a poster on my wall and it's in pieces I fix it but it falls on me when i'm sleeping I guess what i'm sayin is i'm broken "I'm doing fine" Is my new slogan And i hope that one day i can forget All the feelings i hurt All the actions i regret Cause i finally feel like i'm back to being myself But in the back of my mind It comes out from time to time When august came around There was this darkness that i found And i was ready to hang it up But if you looked at me now You'd be so damn proud You won't believe me when i say I was on my way out Therapist told me i was crazy Both parents told me i was lazy I wasn't gonna make it any longer Out in public Winning an oscar And i hope that one day i can forget All the feelings i hurt All the actions i regret Cause i finally feel like i'm back to being myself But in the back of my mind It comes out from time to time When august came around There was this darkness that i found And i was ready to hang it up But if you looked at me now You'd be so damn proud You won't believe me when i say I was on my way out I don't feel like i'm whole anymore Sit in silence With the clothes on the floor A few months go by There's nothing i can do To change the past But i'm home at last Home at last When august comes around I'm reminded of this town And lately my guitar ain't enough But take a look at me now And i'll say it clear and loud I've got love I've got love I've got love
