Don't Say You Won't

Alkaline Trio

it's a girl in here, not as sweet as you
it's a guy like me, some bad tattoos
an empty bar filling up with smoke
and that fly in the ice is like three days old

so please don't say you wont be going out today
cause anywhere i go, wont be anything,
if your not hanging around

it's the blackest cloud,
and it opens up
when i walk outside, and i'm all alone
an empty cell, the furnace chokes,
when i walk through the door, of my broken home

so please don't say you wont be going out today
cause anywhere i go, wont be anything,
if your not hanging around
cause anywhere i go, wont be anything,
if your not hanging around

please don't say you wont
please don't say you wont
cause anywhere i go, wont be anything,
if your not hanging around
cause anywhere i go, wont be anything,
if your not hanging around
