|
Well you knew me pretty well |
|
But I never let you see my dark side |
|
So it's perfectly appropriate |
|
That I'm careening down the highway |
|
Screaming at the top of my lungs |
|
Praying for the courage to do something reckless |
|
Well a short hiatus of perceived bliss |
|
I guess it's back to courting the grey cloud I used to love |
|
But you don't deserve the satisfaction |
|
Of being the one who pushed me over the edge |
|
So tone it down a notch |
|
Just a six-pack and some cigarettes |
|
And I'm stumbling in the street looking something pitiful |
|
Like the old cat you put out she looked bewildered |
|
For a while but she's getting meaner by the minute |
|
Maybe I'm just angry |
|
For the love songs you murdered mid-verse |
|
Or maybe I'm just angry |
|
'cause it all fell down for you first |
|
Because it all fell down for you first |
|
Well would it all be so easy |
|
If you had to look me straight in the eye |
|
If I were there to contradict |
|
All the pretty stories you tell to justify yourself? |
|
Well now I find it hard to believe |
|
You don't have a thing to say to me |
|
You don't write, you don't call |
|
You're just getting cruel and we're both getting petty |
|
I want my twenty bucks and my black shirt |
|
Oh you better be happy, you better be happy |
|
Well maybe I'm just angry |
|
For these battered, tainted memories |
|
Or maybe I'm just angry |
|
Because now you feel so free |
|
I guess now you feel so free |
|
I guess now you feel so... |
|
Well if you think too big or you think too small |
|
It'll lead you down the same road |
|
You'll figure out life rewards the worst in us |
|
Yeah you can take and take and take some more |
|
And you'll never get what you deserve |
|
This is me at my most cynical |
|
Now this is me at my most cynical |
|
And I'm getting meaner by the minute |
|
I said I'm getting meaner by the minute... |
|
Well you knew me pretty well |
|
But I never let you see my dark side |
