I'm so used to this being the end of Good Mourning, I almost instinctively closed the tab when the song ended

I used to play this on guitar over and over when I'd be healing from a bad relationship❤

I kinda like the damaged voice vocals of the original more, I do love this version, too.

It's about time that I came clean with you
I'm no longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth
I thought that I'd found myself onto something new
Just one more line I repeat over and over again

'Til I'm blue in the face with a choking regret
As I talk in circles 'round you on my bed
Can't say I blamed you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night

It's about time that you got sick of me
No longer fun and so far from interesting
I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old
Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold

In disgrace with a shameful regret
As I speak in tongues to myself in my bed
Can't say I blamed you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night

And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time

And I don't dream since I quit sleeping
No I haven't slept since I met you

And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime
Neither can I so what do you say?
Your coffin or mine?

[eroller]

Damnesia... Hands down the best damn album from alkaline . an album thats meant for you to hear the lyrics and not get distracted by instrument side of the songs

[loziolozio]

It's about time that you got sick of me no longer fun

A bit odd doing an acoustic version of a song that was already acoustic! I prefer the original, I think there were two guitars in that one, it sounded fuller, and Matt's voice was more raw and raspy. It's a little clean here which takes some of the emotional impact out. Like that Jawbreaker song "Kiss the bottle" when Blake's voice was fucked up.
