            &lt;p&gt;there could have been so many other men&lt;br /&gt;
faces, half-inclined&lt;br /&gt;
I could have had such a lovely decline&lt;br /&gt;
the kind I dreamt about all the time&lt;br /&gt;
yeah the kind of dream where I excuse myself&lt;br /&gt;
from real love for failure&lt;br /&gt;
(the kind of dream where I use myself and lose myself)&lt;br /&gt;
the end of so many other women&lt;br /&gt;

I could have lived on ash and memory&lt;/p&gt;
