you used to joke about how you were just a mess
some days you'd stay at home getting drunk all by yourself
and then we'd talk again for hours at a time
you used to tell me you would leave us all behind
if I asked you, would you tell me why
you left me standing in the cold
if I asked you, would you tell me why
you've been on the run so long
always pictured you moving to the USA
I remember when you told me how badly you needed a getaway
if I asked you, would you tell me why
you left me standing in the cold
