lyrics

Don't wanna know how many boys you slept with
That number is a weapon
Straight through my chest and
Bang bang I'm a jealous ex, y, z
3D lines in my face etched
By the absence of your grace
Hug the covers tight, there's still empty space
Six months lacking your embrace
Six months knowing I'm to blame
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste

I cried and wrote you a long letter
Not known at this address, return to sender
I got it back and I could send it again
But I know better, I know better
I don't know anyone better than you at affection
How can I choose from an empty selection?
Trick question

Don't picture me as a victim
I'm the rotting carcass of a pigeon
Flattened by a Citroen
Look in its eyes and feel pity
But at least it won't be shitting on
Anyone, anymore
My good friends scrape me up off the floor
'cause my good friends get me
Worse than death is if you forget me
Am I a bad memory?
Long ago, like a lost century
Closed museum doors, no entry

I'd fall right back in if you let me
So don't let me, don't let me
Make someone else feel electric
and you're so wet
That's how sparks fly
On a dark night
I can sense it
Are you contented?
