Our Prize

I was young and I was stupid
You were not and you knew
Better, now what's done is done
I can't feel regretful for you

I hear your face in the bathroom mirror
I feel her crying so much clearer
I taste my knuckles growing white
I see a scream out in the night

And it was all because of us
And it was all because of us
And it was all because of us
And our illicit trust

We traded words back forth like drugs
Tried praying to things above
Something taut and something shaky
Believed better than I was  

Rush of blood
Call it a lot of things
Called it off
She cried a flood

And it was all because of us
And it was all because of us
And it was all because of us
And our illicit trust

Why not
I knew beauty when I see it
Why not
Trapped and mutually free it
Why not
Because that's not how these things work

I had the time of my life
With my horns and breaking china
You were laughing no denial
And then we both broke our prize
