Don’t Waste Your Anger
[Verse 1]
Everything went straight out the window
Like when we’re smoking in the rental car
Little embers and fires pinwheel into the night
Still a hundred kilometres from where you are
Fell asleep with the blinds open
So I could wake up with the sun
Would instil a sense of hope and
I’d go out and be someone
[Chorus]
I’m my best when I’m forgiving
Life is hard to keep on living
I’m my best when I’m forgiving
Life is hard to keep on
To keep on
[Verse 2]
Everyone walked straight out the back door like
The police showed up in the front yard
Little flickers and fights dissolve into the night
I’m still not myself for what you said in the car
I’m not sure what I am saying
Doubled over like I’m throwin' up or praying
With my knees on the floor of the downstairs shower
I taste salty tears, artificial flowers
[Chorus 1]
I’m my best when I’m forgiving
Life is hard to keep on living
I’m my best when I’m forgiving
Life is hard to keep on
(Keep on)
[Chorus 2]
Don't waste your anger
Don't waste your anger
Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger
Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger
Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger
Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger on me
On me
[Verse 3]
The ghosts of our hand prints
In old cocaine on the mirror
I lick your fingers
I lick your fingers and I feel clearer
I have disasters
I have disasters comin' for me
This room has angles
This room has angles only you'd see
[Chorus 2]
Don't waste your anger
Don't waste, don't waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger
Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me
Don't waste your anger on me
On me
