I would ask you how you’ve been, its all
over the internet
But hey i mean we knew that after all
If you’re looking for an autopsy or a
half-asked half-apology then i think you
picked the wrong time to make this call

It is not irrelevant that you stopped
taking your medicine
But im givin’ you the benefit ‘cause it’s
rainin’ out
I’ll tell you how the weather is and
you’ll slip in to some elequently
ramblin’ mixed messagin’
I should shut you down

But it’s cold, and it’s cold, and it’s
cold, and it’s cold, and it’s cold
 
And I don’t know, I’m alone, I’m alone,
I’m alone, I’m alone

I hope you tell me that you're windin'
down
That you lost the taste to face the crowd
That whatever made you famous made you
sick
 
That you can only do what pain allows
It ain't up to you to make it out
And there ain't no shame in callin'
this thing quits

But you don't, and you don't, what you
don't, and you don't, and you don't
 
You're a ghost, you're a ghost,
you're a ghost, you're a ghost,
and you're-

Poison spreadin' to my lungs
I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin'
any faith at all
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you
I'll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each mornin' when it's me
that turns it off
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

You act like we just sit up here and wait
for you to reappear
But, baby, there are bills to pay and
your dad's road needs salt
And I try to drown out all the talk,
the eyeballs in the parkin' lots
And tell people it ain't me you want,
but I guess you're my fault

And I choke, and I choke, and I choke,
