GODDAMNITALL

Eastern time has gotten the best of me
I blew my voice out giving the eulogy
My broken body, my aging knees
I haven't stood still since I was twenty-three

And you were there lying through your teeth
Always going after the cheap heat
Swearing that you're coming to meet me

Meet me on the fire escape
If you're coming to save me
I've been lying awake
Staring out at the dead street
I'm alone (oh)
The cold will let me know I'm on my own (oh)
You're never gonna show

Well, I got caught in the rip tide that follows you
I'd pull my teeth out just 'cause you asked me to
I can't forgive you, no matter what I do
I hate that about me but I know it's true

I'm a sweater that you've given to goodwill
Or lied about and sent to the landfill
A sucker left holding my breath still

Meet me on the fire escape
If you're coming to save me
I've been lying awake
Staring out at the dead street
I'm alone (oh)
The cold will let me know I'm on my own (oh)
You're never gonna show

Goddamn it all
Tell me what's so wrong with being alone?
Oh no, goddamn it all
Tell me what's it feels like seeing a ghost?
Oh no, goddamn it all
Tell me what's so wrong with being alone?
No, no, goddamn it all
Goddamn it all, goddamn it all

Meet me on the fire escape (goddamn it all)
If you're coming to save me
I've been lying awake
Staring out at the dead street (goddamn it all)
I'm alone (oh)
The cold will let me know I'm on my own (oh) (goddamn it all)
You're never gonna show
