lyrics
Please don't wait up for me,
I never leave here on time when I am going out,
Hours wasted on a wilted flower after bloom,
Forgotten in the room,
I'm sure of this you'll get just what you asked for,
We showed up just for the band but left higher than Heaven on heels when He is going out,
Hoping He won't foot the bill,
Not a chance,
You pay for your romance,
Let's just think through this now or just drink through this.
Be still my heart,
Its stapled shut.
Won't fall apart.
Forgive me.
Please don't say hi to me,
I'm just a devil with dealings,
Done a down-and-out, roundabout,
Back to original sin,
Where all of this begins,
Beg for forgiveness, don't need no more pragmatists
Asking for burdens of proof,
Howl like a dog at the moon without a bone to pick
Up where we left off,
Beware of friends pretending not to care,
Spare the rest of us,
Start the mass exodus.
Be still my heart,
Its stapled shut.
Won't fall apart.
We're hanging upside down,
Falling out of line, why try, linger in the back,
We are of another kind, not so,
Never said to go outside so unsupervised, I'm fine,
Better get inside, oh my,
Take it as a sign,
This is goodbye.
