Hey kid, you're such a liar
Those pictures that I saw
Plastered on your wall
Weren't unfortunate at all
Hey kid, don't keep me guessing
You swore you'd make it work
I felt like a jerk
When I thought I missed your call
But you...you never even called
The first day of December
When you turned twenty-four
You were beating down my door
Going on about some war
That evening when I kissed you
We both had had enough
You were acting tough
You tried to drink a little more
Then we both drank a little more
And you told stories that
I swear I've heard before
At least six or seven times
We walked an our to
The closest liquor store
But we got there as they
Were turning off the sign
This basement is a prison
A cell I've built myself
It still beats the hell
Out of hiding someplace else
Hey kid, don't be a hero
I got some time to serve
You'll get what you deserve
But for now just save yourself
Just run off and save yourself
