i just want to sit in my room and cry, hang my head in shame and die
there’s no use having your shoulder now; a shovel puts me in the ground
i was there, waiting for you to come home and be my friend
i was scared you’d left that morning, never to return again
and the story goes
when i was sad i sadly knew you badly
spent my nights all taking off my muscles in a grey
at first the bubble didn’t burst
i was helpless and lonely and scant
but worse, you put me in a hearse
in your heart in your head in your hands
i had no second chance
i just want to sit in my room and cry, hang my head in shame and die
there’s no use having your shoulder now; a shovel puts me in the ground
i was there, waiting for you to come home and be my friend
i was scared you’d left that morning, never to return again
and the story goes
when i was hard i hardly knew you partly
i did what my body told me to pretty much everyday
at first the bubble didn’t burst
i was helpless and lonely and scant
but worse, you put me in a hearse
in your heart in your head in your hands
i had no second chance
web of lies, you’re the monster in my life, the monster
moment of truth, you’re my memory and my fear in concert
i was there, waiting for you to come home and be my friend
i was scared you’d left that morning, never to return again
