The lightening in this room Doesn't do a thing for you and your complexion
I'm sorry but it's the truth You look like the goddamn living dead
But honestly I don't care How you do or don't your hair
You're ugly on the inside
The makeup that you use to catch some eyes And hide your imperfections Does little to conceal An ego that's been bruised many times But you've left it at home With your underwear
But honestly I don't mind Who you do or don't today
You're still ugly on the inside
You've got time to change
Now go ahead and drink those drinks Drunk again Someone will drive you home
I woke up today and felt for my age for the first time in both my mind and body. My thoughts are less of fitting in and more of being a better man. But my overbite is getting worse. And my whole f**king face hurts. I woke up today with the whimper not the pain of a school boy or a father. It seems that's fifteen pounds I've lost since you left with the part of me that you loved most and knew best. And I woke up today feeling my age. And this song of everything I've ever told. Either I just got kicked in the teeth or time has changed me.
I eat with these crooked teeth Tomato soup and grilled cheese But you already know that because you used to dine with me Do you remember?
I listen to my same old cd's New order & Morissey But you already know that because you used to ride with me I thought i'd be singing a different tune by now But this song about you keeps coming out
I sleep in these dirty sheets A blanket between my boney knees But you already know that because you used to crawl in bed with me in the morning before work
Put your hands on my back Kiss the back of my neck
I thought i'd be singing a different tune by now But this song about you keeps coming out I hoped to be singing to someone new by now But the songs about you keep coming out
Sayin I love you is not the words I want to hear from you it's not that I want you not to say but if you only knew how easy it would be to show me how you feel
more than words it's all you'd have to do to make it real then you wouldn't have to say that you loved me cuz I'd already know
what would you do if my heart were torn in two
more than words to show you feel that your love for me is real
what would you say if I took those words away then you couldn't make things new just by saying I love you
more than words
now that i've tried to talk to you and make you understand all you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hand and touch me hold me close don't ever let me go
more than words it's all I ever needed you to show then you wouldn't have to say that you loved me cuz i'd already know
i met a little girl and i settled down in a little house out on the edge of town we got married, we swore we'd never part then little by little we drifted from each other's heart
at first i thought it was just restlessness that would fade as time went by and our love grew deep but in the end there was more i guess that tore us apart and made us weep
i'm riding a stolen bike up and down Damon Avenue each night i wait to get caught but i never do
she asked if i remembered those letters i wrote when our love was young and bold she said last night she read those letters and they made her feel one hundred years old
i'm riding a stolen bike on a pitch black night i keep telling myself it's gonna be alright but i ride by night and i travel in fear that in this darkness i will disappear
