Garbage - STATEN

How could you ever love a dirty man?

This garbage came and stained my hands.

I’m filthy, that’s the sad fucking truth

I’m no good for you.

I hope you’re not embarrassed of my faults,

the failures that I engulfed,

indulged but I was starving for you

split this bottle in two.

How’d you find a lifeline

as long as the eastern coast?

I’ll let you down eventually

but thanks for keeping me afloat.

Every day I missed you,

every night I waited for,

every night I stayed awake,

hoping you’d say, «I love you more.»

How could you consider me as family?

I abandoned every single need.

It’s hard to give what I never had

and receive what I lack.

I fucked up first but I’ll never admit,

all this pain and this hurt and I still can’t feel shit.

Cause when I got myself termed my feelings went with

along with pride and an urn to put myself in.

I want to burn the shoes that touched the ground when I ran away.

It’s not their fault but god damn fuck;

I can’t help but blame them.

I miss our walks and all the talks after 11 hour shifts.

Cause that was the first time I felt like I belonged.

Every day I miss you,

every night I’m waiting for

every night I stay awake,

hoping you’ll say I need you more.

Every day I missed you,

every night I waited for

every night I stayed awake,

hoping you’d say to come back home.
