"youre skin & bones, im a nervous wreck."
"you never knew [well, i never told you]
everything i know about breaking hearts i learned from you [its true].
ive never done it with the style & grace you have,
but ive made long term plans based on these mistake..."
"well im blowing smoke out of your window
& youre slipping back into your dress.
you know you were always such a lady,
ive always been impressed.
deep, dark & devastating
leaving no question as to where youve been.
do you think hed be better [because were down for competition] doing what i do best?
do you think hed be better [this could all be on purpose] doing what i do best?"
"when all that we need is just a reaction,
its too much to ask for when theres no attraction anymore.
if chasing our dreams is just a distraction,
i want to remember when i know that i cant go back.
just ask the question, come untie the knot.
say you wont care, say you wont care.
retrace the steps as if we forgot,
say you wont care, say you wont care.
try to avoid it [try to avoid it] but theres not a doubt,
theres one thing i can do nothing about."
"well its getting colder & youre getting distant,
& i just keep thinking that i never meant it
to be like this [to be like this].
you know what comes next [so do I]!
youre begging for a way to gracefully bow out & say goodnight.
[its worse than you think.]
on your way home you should have known,
you never listen to me.
im only complaining to keep myself busy, sweetie."
