lyrics

What a waste of skin
the man you let in
and what a price to have paid
to have it your way
I'm amazed you stayed
I mean, what an ugly place
not strong enough to call his bluff
or leave the love to rust.

I will always have my sympathies for you
let's loosen up the bandages, inspect the wounds
I'll show you mine, you show me yours
we've nothing to prove
we're just a pair of hypochondriacs in bloom.

You: trained to stay
a little faith couldn't save you
no better off getting lost
with the one who
couldn't hope to stay afloat.

Turned up one day, took it all away
what a waste of space
he's all guts and no brains,
but the heart breaks all the same
and no one escapes
trying desperately to come clean
fuck sake, just say what you mean
or do me the decency
and leave me be.
...
You: trained to stay
blamed away that behaviour
no better off getting lost
with the one who couldn't hope
to stay afloat.

Let me help you man, 'cus I have been there
and I can tell you that it don't go anywhere
you've got to stack your needs
against your reasons, please
you're about halfway to the door
and I'm going back for more
and more
and more.
