Masterpiece

Forty stories up, it's night and day
Never met but I could guess your name
Said you reminded me of home
And all of the time, we barely spoke
So lessons learned can quickly be erased

Pouring forties down the kitchen sink
All your talking, I can't hear me think
Pushing, pulling, seize me on the brink
If it's all or nothing, let's break off these links

All of the best guys made you whole
All of the rest I'll never know
If this is a test, I'll take my leave
And I'm on the run

But now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece
Masterpiece
Chewing on Valium
The jet is taking off, I can feel the rot
Spreading, it's a killer disease
Killer disease
Just say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up
And drink it like a remedy
No good for me
And now that I'm on the run
Know I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece
Masterpiece

There's a place I could not let you in
Now there's a lot to tell you so listen
I was keeping you out 'cause I've been hurt before
Becoming a coward and I hate myself more
I'm not proud, but looking back now, I had to run

Now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece

And now that I'm on the run

So with or without me
Still felt you were drowning
With so many options
You picked the worst timing
We don't talk about it
Don't talk about anything
My love didn't stop when
I cut it all off, and

Cut it all off and again to run

But now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece
