HIGHLY SUSPECT
"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 8th 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 already happened
When I saw the tears, the tears roll down your face
When you watched me walk away, mm
I never said goodbye
Farewell, we tried
I asked for an angel
Well, I guess that God sent me two, mm
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, somehow I made it
And this time I have learned
'Cause I was barely alive
But you gave me kindness
Now I'd carve out
I would carve out both of my eyes
Before I'd watch you walk away, mm, yeah, yeah
You saved my whole life
Ain't gonna fuck it up this time
