I am just another fool and I have to keep telling myself that
I am just a hypocrite and I have to keep calling you one
And I forgot to bite my tongue and my assumption is the mother of all mistakes
So I assume the role, open my mouth
And clumsy words escape
So why you, wanna be there?
When you could be here
You are slippin' away
I awake with your replacement
A bottle in my grasp in an unfamiliar place
'Cause you put me out
The butt of a sick joke into this ashtray life
As you come and go
And I forgot to service you and we broke down
And you can't live with my mistakes
So I assume false grace, open my arms
And grasp at something true
How are you?
How have you been?
Girl I miss you, wanna see you again
So why you, wanna be there,
When you could be here?
You are slipping away
I bring out the worst in you and you try and let me know
You bring out the worst in me
Anxiety, anxiety
I'm trying to let you go
You say I'm giving you the creeps
So I assume the role, open my claws
And grasp for your heart
How are you?
How have you been?
Girl I miss you, wanna see you again
Into you like a mortal stake
So vindictive
Your love's slipping away
(Violins)
Into this ashtray life (Violins)
The butt of your sick joke (Violins)
I'm trying hard to let you go (Violins)
