The 8th of October (To August 17th) Songtext
von Highly Suspect

I let you down
Just like your father
I did not deserve you
′Cause you are the truth

The last time I saw you
Was the 8th of October
And when I left Brooklyn
We both knew it was through

And the worst day of my life
Won't be when they put me in the grave
′Cause that already happened
When I saw the tears
The tears roll down your face
When you watched me walk away, hm


I never said goodbye
Farewell, we tried

I asked for an angel
Well, I guess that God sent me two
The first one I forsook
But the second one is you

The best day of my life
Was when you saved it
On the 17th of August
God-damn, somehow, I made it

And this time I have learned
'Cause I was barely alive
But you gave me kindness
Now I'd carve out
I would carve out both of my eyes
Before I′d watch you walk away, hm, yeah


You saved my whole life
Ain′t gonna fuck it up this time
