Another Day - Nine Days

Here's another day, she waits and pulls herself away 
at just the right moment to save her face 
I watch the time go ticking down, the waters falling on the ground 
I catch myself and try to speak with grace 
you needed just enough anger, to get you through the door 
and you got just enough honesty, to make you want a little more 

I wish for nothing but the rain, to fall and wash away 
everything that I've done wrong, find a way to make you strong 
if only for another day 

when I'm all alone, just me and my ghosts 
standing three deep, just like sentries at their post 
they make sure I remember, just a little more than most 
they make sure that I understand the consequence of past 

when you see me chasing daydreams and you know that I'm not there 
I'm not the one who sits across from you, who, returns your stare 
and I watch as you grow quiet like you always did 
and I wait to get what I deserve 
its the part that doesn't die that makes it hurt...
