Carpet Burn

You only cry when you're mad Wake with the fear that you had said somethin' bad Told me how you lost your dad And you get scared, you got the same damn demons in you Well, I ain't countin' the scars This one was carpet burn from fuckin' in my first car You hate that he broke your heart And you've been single since the person who you lost it to I'll take every moment I get But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met I'll take all the time we got left But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met Oh, it gets me down that I didn't know you then Flew there to spend the weekend (I flew there overnight) You made a friend while I asked for another cigarette He asked me how long's it been (but I don't know myself) "I like the people here," I tell 'em while I'm starin' at you Every moment I get But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met I'll take all the time we got left But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met Oh, it gets me down that I didn't know you When I needed to hold you, when you were petrified I don't think we were ready to see it in this light Would have blamed it on the time And it always would have been "What could have been?" I'll take every moment I get But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met I'll take all the time we got left But it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met Yeah, it gets me down that I didn't know you before we met Oh, it gets me down that I didn't know you then
