lyrics
I like alone, won’t be lost without you
Hadn’t you noticed or don’t you care
Why not alone, why keep the pain around us
Hadn’t we noticed or don’t we care and both too tired and old?
Even if I was in love with you and wore the ring, the name tattoo
These things could never hope to keep me here
With the bitter words and cool embraces
The fading sweeter tastes I have started to forget too soon to hold them back
Did I do wrong just to believe that there’s a last day of a long winter
Full of empty pride in yesterdays and things you only threw away on those that didn’t ask you
But you had to
You’re just fat and bone and monkey chips
Disgust upon your wrinkled lips
That you no longer try to hide from me
Did I do wrong just to believe that there’s a last day of a long winter
Cause I believe that there’s a last day of a long winter
Hadn’t you noticed or don’t you care
Why not alone, why keep the pain around us
Hadn’t we noticed or don’t we care and both too tired and old?
Even if I was in love with you and wore the ring, the name tattoo
These things could never hope to keep me here
With the bitter words and cool embraces
The fading sweeter tastes I have started to forget too soon to hold them back
Did I do wrong just to believe that there’s a last day of a long winter
Full of empty pride in yesterdays and things you only threw away on those that didn’t ask you
But you had to
You’re just fat and bone and monkey chips
Disgust upon your wrinkled lips
That you no longer try to hide from me
Did I do wrong just to believe that there’s a last day of a long winter
Cause I believe that there’s a last day of a long winter
