Maybe in a few years I'll see you
Hanging outside with your friends
You'll get up from your chair pretend
It's nice to see me again
Then
That's it
We'll part
Affairs of the heart
Over when they start
Begging for atonement
Give in too late
I'm so hard to date
Say the wrong thing in the right

Couldn't fix it on my own
Thought I knew well enough to know
Better
Better than who?
And when you find another love
I hope she treats you like a dove
And is better
Better for you

Got a call from an old friend last night
Said he was checking up on me
Told me a story how you told him
That you knew
I was way out of your league
The defense
It rests
Feeding from the breast
Of an empty chest
Monkey hugging wire
Blankets warm but colder
Then when you would hold her
So cut her up
And throw her on the fire

Couldn't fix it on my own
Thought I knew well enough to know
Better
Better than who?
And when you find another love
I hope she treats you like a dove
And is better
Better for you


God how it hurts,
You couldn't handle me at my worst
God, how it hurts
You couldn't handle me at my worst
God, how it hurts to know
You couldn't handle me at my worst
God, how it hurts to know
You couldn't handle me at my worst
God, how it hurts to know
You couldn't handle me at my worst
God, how it hurts to know
You couldn't handle me at my worst
