Sweet Suffering

We were waiting as the summer was fading to fall

We had each other and nothing else really ever mattered at all

But things got out of hand

You made choices I still don't understand

And now I got my back up against the wall

And my back up against it all



I was hoping that you just might choke on your words

And I would watch you struggle while you murdered (?) something that's completely absurd

But it makes no difference now

We are fucking each other over somehow

But we all got our backs up against it



Oh, sweet suffering

I never get too far from that familiar state (?)

It don't matter if I hope or pray

It's always been the same for me

Oh, sweet suffering



Maybe in time we can find a way to make this right

I'm sure, I'm sure we will

But maybe tonight, I hope you hardly sleep awake

Maybe you think about the shit you put me through

By sitting there all alone tonight

With your back up against the wall

With your back up against it all
