About Me


Maybe it's me, but is the future uncertain or maybe we are just used to hearin' the lies Fuck the blinders, you're free to see but what's truly free if it costs you your wedding ringChorus No ones gonna save my life and that's alright and no ones gonna be my wife and that's just fine and no ones gonna take my name and I know why/don't mindThe bottles a friend that only comes to pass and like it and most in this world I won't last But I promised myself, maybe too long ago, that I would be the man that you'll never but should have knownChorusx2
