2nd Avenue Lament

I listened to what they'd say
let idiots ruin my day
and it shows that i'm overflowing with sorrow

i'm filling my heart with regret
and if you're willing to forgive and forget
i know that we both can start over tomorrow

we swore that we'd never say never
do whatever it takes
and whether it breaks my heart or not
i know that every endeavor is better together
forever and ever

no need to be ashamed
you're nobody to take the blame
there's things that you need
and there's things that you borrow

you don't have to be so strong
there's people to guide you along
sometimes you can lead
sometimes you can follow

NNMaddox: "This is definitely the saddest song on the album. There's a de la Vega quote in there about idiots ruining your day. I saw that written a large piece of painted plywood on night. I debated on bringing it back home, but it was quite heavy.

It's hard to explain this one other than simply saying it's very personal. I think the theme is that sometimes it's ok if you're not at your best, because the people that truly care about you will help."
