"Chewed Up" lyrics

And I saw your friend, said I hope she'll wish you well
I said my side of the story, don't know which one that she'll tell
It's like asking my old dog to deliver all the mail
It's either never gonna get there or be shredded all to hell

I keep hoping for the best, familiar with the worst
Fire this apple from a tree, that might just break a family curse
The notion I'm ungrateful, well that's something I refuse
My friends and me are thankfully but we're all a bit confused

We're all chewed up, spit out, torn up, thrown out
Just like the words out my mouth
We're all screwed up, beat down, we're lost, I've found
There's no way my fate's running out
I see the light pouring out into the west
Know we've both said our goodbyes but I'll love you till I'm dead
I found some beauty in all this crazy mess
Well I prayed for your forgiveness, time to put that to the test

I keep praying to the stars but I'm not sure where it's sent
I keep walking to the mail and I ain't got a letter yet
Drive a hundred miles an hour but I'm running here on fumes
I heard tonight this city's booked and I heard heaven's short on room

We're all chewed up, spit out, torn up, thrown out
Just like the words out my mouth
We're all screwed up, beat down, we're lost, I've found
There's no way my fate's running out
I see the light pouring out into the west
Know we've both said our goodbyes but I'll love you till I'm dead
I found some beauty in all this crazy mess
Well I prayed for your forgiveness, time to put that to the test

We're all chewed up, spit out, torn up, thrown out
Just like the words out my mouth
We're all screwed up, beat down, we're lost, I've found
There's no way my fate's running out
I see the light pouring out into the west
Know we've both said our goodbyes but I'll love you till I'm dead
I found some beauty in all this crazy mess
Well I prayed for your forgiveness, time to put that to the test
