You thought you had it made
|
Like the songs would write themselves
|
But your words ran out of ink
|
And your fingers lost the chords
|
You lay around so bored
|
And you hit the bar at two
|
And you waste your time on girls
|
They know they're getting used
|
|
They love the pain that you create
|
The drunken fights you fabricate
|
'Cause they've been hurt too
|
Worse than you
|
You told yourself it's not your fault
|
You told them not to get involved
|
Some bullshit excuse to escape unbruised
|
|
But they move on while you're stuck hating yourself deprecation
|
Yourself centered songs
|
The space you've created
|
Between your words and your actions
|
These loveless liaisons have left you alone
|
All you've gained is a loss
|
|
You really wish it wasn't like it was
|
But like before that time
|
You wished it was a little more
|
Than how you felt before that time
|
You made a wish to think the way you felt
|
When you were young
|
When you realized you'd never ever, ever know a love
|
You wished and prayed and you tried to stay
|
In love or at least in your lover's good graces
|
Just keep it going, just keep it going
|
|
'Cause when they leave the drinks get stronger
|
And much, much more frequent
|
For the sloppy drunk boys
|
Who hide in their basements
|
Where the songs write themselves
|
Yeah it used to be easy
|
before we got lazy
|
and drank with the girls
|
No, no I know it's not your fault
|
No, no no, no, no you said not to get involved
|
Whatever makes you happy
|
Whatever you need to believe
|
in all these self afflicted tradgedies
|
You scribble them down on that miserable sound
|
I guess this is the goodlife
|
|
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby
|
(let it go)
|
|
Self deprecation has made it's translation
|
These lyrics are done
