For Marlon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I broke my toes 'Cause when I'm sad I get as clumsy as a stupid clown But you're way too young to understand And I'm way too desperate to be sane So I fall for you like a fool for gold 'Cause you look so pure and I love your voice I can hear the cracks of your youthful heart And it makes me want to be A part of that Until I said "What's there on your arm?" You said, "Don't look, please don't ask" I know you won't like to know that I'm a recovering addict and sometimes I relapse [Chorus] But if I get sober Would you swear to love me? If I get sober Would you care for me? [Verse 2] And as I was ready and didn't care to doubt The wheel has spin and left a drought I thought I knew back then to never ever trust Someone for who drugs come first And I think there's no love But just proof of love And you've just proved me That you'd never care And it's been raining now for three days straight As a sad reflect of my sorry state And I remember you said with me you felt The best that you've ever, ever felt And I think that no drugs can replace The warmth and tenderness that we embraced [Chorus] But if you get sober I will be here for you If you get sober I'll be yours for good
