Ballad of Billy

Lyrics

Talking to you that night the light was low I promised to you that I would never go But you left me and you took with you all that I knew About myself and about a life I thought I could choose Well, it was never in the cards And that I have to show I'm a piece of shit, I'm a hypocrite Oh buddy, don't I know What I take from you I give to me I'm a burden just to know But I'll change, yeah, I'll change, but I'll change I'm leaving my mind behind cause nothing true can stay The ice in my veins will always get warm And the insides of my brain, well, they might be torn But it's all in vein, yeah it's all in vein, it's all in my vеins If you think we're busy living, well, wе must be dying too 'Cause there's only so long you can live at this altitude I've been cruising, been sleeping, been running, been tweaking, been lying for so long Now my only way to talk is through Billy's song Well, it was never in the cards And that I have to show I'm a piece of shit, I'm a hypocrite Oh buddy, don't I know What I take from you I give to me I'm a burden just to know But I'll change, yeah, I'll change, but I'll change 'Cause it's always the same with Billy No strings attached, yet tangled, what a pity Inside of Billy's chest is a stolen heart of gold And it's painfully pounding against his ribs, hard and cold Promises, promises, all the lies he told To mend the fragments of what once was whole Tragedy won't make us any kinder He'll stumble and falter That's the ballad of our lost brother Well, it was never in the cards And that I have to show I'm a piece of shit, I'm a hypocrite Oh buddy, don't I know What I take from you I give to me I'm a burden just to know But I'll change, yeah, I'll change, but I'll change
