lyrics

Who knew all I had to do was stop looking for trouble? I never figured out how to shut my mouth. I always need the last word. But this is no conversation, so I will turn my back on you.

'Cause it's done. It's been done. It's been done like nothing's ever been done before. I messed things up. I messed things up real good. I messed things up and for a while I didn't feel too good. But now I do. Oh, now I so do. I feel so good, I feel like I never thought I could.

And just when I'm worried you might be better off, thank god, you started smoking cigarettes. But I never did wish you any bodily harm, so good luck with all the lung cancer.

I think I need to start listening to good music again. I think I need to pretend you weren't the one to get me into Laura Stevenson. I think I need to remember how it felt when you said, "I feel nothing," and "I love you," in the same sentence.

Because I think that was important for me to hear, but please won't you shout it next time, just to be sure? Shout it right in her ear.

And just when I'm worried you might be better off, thank god, you started smoking cigarettes. But I never did wish you any bodily harm, so good luck with all the lung cancer.
