It’s not as though we haven’t been trying Just the results that came out wrong Sometimes that’s just the way things are We’ll always find ways to fuck up It sure beats not trying Remembering these petty things The ways you would blame me So tell me that it’s all my fault I’m not listening anymore No matter how bad my mistakes were I’ve never modeled at a funeral It sure beats not trying Remembering these petty things The ways you would blame me So tell me that it’s all my fault I’m not listening anymore It doesn’t matter what comes next I never did this for you It sure beats not trying Remembering these petty things The ways you would blame me So tell me that it’s all my fault I’m not listening anymore

What will they say? Does it really matter anyway? Maybe that’s the point And I’m growing tired It’s fine if they all scoff and laugh That’s what they don’t get 'Cause they’ll never know how great those summer nights were When we ruled You don’t need to say a thing It’s impossible to describe And maybe I don’t feel like sharing this This is for just us – I’ll never say a thing We don’t need them to understand 'Cause they’ll never know how great those summer nights were When we ruled the world Ruled the world I don’t care - if it’s too much to ask of anyone I don’t care They’ll never know how great those summer nights were When we ruled You don’t need to say a thing

This has become – become comical Everytime we see each other it doesn’t end well – well, for me But still it’ll happen I don’t know why Maybe I should ask but the result is always the same It’s bad for me Let’s stop of all this thinking Let’s get in trouble again Logic’s not - not our thing anymore Then we count the ways that we fall apart Then never speak again I’ll never see your face again Or call your name again Because it’s inviting havoc Bring on the self doubt And let’s scream and shout About how we can’t make this one right Sure we meant well but our talking it never changes anything I’m sick of running in place I’m sick of waking up to what the mirror shows me I know I’m not the only one that’s all wrong You love beating me up, come on and say so You love beating me up, come on I know it anyway I’ll never see your face again Or call your name again Because it’s inviting havoc
4.
Every time I see these things of yours part of me dies Still I believe that there’s some good in you, doubtless I’m sure Forget all the nuance – because it’s always been about Always been always been about There’s only so – only so much that I can stand But I’m doing my best To remember to forget whatever you said it meant Forget all the nuance – because it’s always been about Always been always been about you Make as much or as little of this - as you want But I saw you at your best And I wonder if you’re still alive Forget all the nuance – because it’s always been about Always been always been about
