Tell Me When I'm Gone

I could never compromise on all my dreams
I would never sacrifice my self-esteem
paint your kiss on someone elses collar
soak your sorrow with another dollar
tell me when I'm gone
"nothing can remain, you know nothing"
cut the crap shut your mouth
until it's over fed up with counting
cheap clichEs
it's really time you reach your point my dear
the reptile smile on your tender lips revealing all
I wanna know
so keep your little riddles to yourself for heaven's sake
tell me when I'm gone
I feel you waste my time
tell me when I'm gone
for then it will be fine
I'll be fine when tomorrow covers me
"no-one can be tamed, you know, no-one"
you repeat
shut your mouth until it's over
I never asked for anything
but someone who'd accept the way I am
I damn the day when you said to me "could you forgive me once again?"
now I know enough to hate myself for heaven's sake
tell me when I'm gone
I feel you waste my time
tell me when I'm gone
for then it will be fine
I'll be fine when tomorrow covers me
hard to care for what you don't respect
hard to swallow with a broken neck
