Great True Emo song. Great True Emo band. This is around 99% correct. You can fool
around and do little variations of the licks, but for the most part this is correct. Enjoy.

Lyrics:

I - I believed - memory might mirror no reflections on me.
I - I believed - that in forgetting I might set myself free.

But I woke up this morning, with a piece of past caught in my throat - and then I choked.

I - I bled - I tried to hide the heart from the head.
I - I bled - in the arms of a girl I'd barely met.

And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground - and then I drowned...

And if I can't see it's for want of...

You - you said, "I see", if there's nothing here then it's probably mine.
My - My turn to see, if there's nothing here t hen it's always be mine.

I - I guess I've learned the taste of days that will always burn.
I - I guess I've learned if it's in the corner of my eye I can't always turn.

And if I don't see it's for want of...
