lyrics

Its been a long week...
And I keep feeling that feeling I felt
when you left me
I know your ashamed,
when you speak my name
you speak my name

If you haven’t loved and lost, then keep your head up kid
If you haven’t loved and lost then you really haven’t lived

Do you remember how you were slurring your words
as we climbed in your fathers old thunderbird
You kept saying, “its been a long week, and I just need you now”

Its been a long week…
And she’s got blood stained teeth from the way she’s been
ripping into me
Crept into my room,
stole the soul from my tomb

If you haven’t loved and lost, then keep your head up kid
If you haven’t loved and lost then you really haven’t lived

Do you remember how you were slurring your words
as we climbed in your fathers old thunderbird
You kept saying, “its been a long week, and I just need...
you’re a Firecracker, ready to go
Ignite into light, you fill the shadows
