Left, Right, Goodnight!

You set fire to the sofa I was sleeping on
With one simple sentence you stopped my life in its tracks 
Became ash, a fraction of myself
Lost at sea for years 
And I always forgave you for that 

Why I oughta 
GIve that kid in the mirror 
A swift right hook!
A left right goodnight! 

You made a knife out of my kindness 
You reflected my compassion 
So I wouldn't see the steel in your hand 
You stuck me and bled out all the love I had
Weak and tired, I always forgave you for that 


Why I oughta 
Give that kid in the mirror 
A swift right hook!
A left right goodnight!

I had grey hanging heavy on my eyelids 
An eternity 
And I always forgave you for that 

But now I'm crying at every tv show
Just the mildly sappy stuff 
And I won't let the feeling of numb ever come back 

And now I see
I'm still making it all about me
And I hope you can forgive me for that 

Why I oughta 
Give that kid in the mirror 
A swift right hook
A left right goodnight
