Eating My Words

Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they�re coming out
Still I can�t help but choke them down
When you�re around but I can�t seem to keep it down
Don�t let it go to your head

I�m not here for my health
If I was then I�d be dead
Instead I�m testing my patience
Waiting around for you to be gracious
I�ll never let go
Don�t be afraid
I�m on the front lines to fight for you

Last time I said goodbye
I thought my good years were washed up
Hung out to dry
With the mindset that everything
Was fine but then I realized

That it was right in front of my eyes
Everyday I�m smashed and ripped
And torn to bits that never fit the mold
But I recognize the way that
I was never really whole
