The 8th Of October (To August 17th)

I let you down
Just like your father
I did not deserve you
Cause you are the truth
The last time I saw you
Was the eighth of October
And when I left Brooklyn
We both knew it was through
And the worst day of my life
Won't be when they put me in the grave
Cause that ought to help me
When I saw the tears, the tears run down your face
When you watched me walk away
I never said goodbye
A farewell, we tried

I asked for an angel
Well I guess the God sent me two
The first one I forsook
But the second one is you
The best day of my life
Was when you saved it
On the 17th of August
Goddamn, I saw how I made it
And this time I haven't
Cause I was barely alive
But you gave me kindness
Now I'd carve out
How I'd carve out both of my eyes
Before I'd watch you walk away
You saved my whole life
Ain't gonna fuck it up this time
