THE LYRICS:
Now consider what’s been said
I’m disappointed my friend
I had a feeling I knew what was going on
There are people who betray
Rules one should not have to say
It’s always the rest of the world
That’s done us wrong
Chorus:
So goodbye sister
You always seem to let me down
And still my hands...they are clean
I didn’t let it chop me down
Life’s too short to waste
With daydreams of damaging a face
I shouldn’t think such things
Thirty is grown up
Fantasies went up for grabs
My open wounds turned into scabs
You’re so full of shit honey
Here’s a breath mint for your mouth
Repeat Chorus
There’s always been a neediness in me
Terrified of subtraction
There’s people you wouldn’t be so close to
In a different time in a different place
Of course I’ll miss you
I knew that I had to go away
I had to blow away...
(I wanted to know you)
She was talking in circles
(I wanted to hold you)
He’s getting squared away
(I’ll never trust again)
And I removed myself from the triangle
(I’ll say goodbye)
It was a mess the shape I was in
But that electric is still there...
Repeat Chorus
I didn’t let it wreck me down...
You’re the proof
That the red in my face still works.
You’re the proof...no more poison.
