You'd rather kill me than to sit and watch me shine
And I'm not gonna die for you this time
I’m not gonna die for you this time
You only want me when I stay between your lines
And I’m not gonna die for you this time
I’m not gonna die for you this time
Cuz I can fly. Did you know?
I got wings. Here I go.
You’ve got an answer every time I try to speak
And I’m not gonna die for you this week
You never listen to the words you come to fear
These are the words you will not hear
I’m not gonna die for you this year
Cuz I’ve been dead a long, long time
Now I got wings so up I’ll climb
I’m resurrecting yeah, I think I’ll buy some wine
And I’m gonna drink to being alive
I’m not gonna die for you this time
I wrote a letter and I’m gonna nail it to your door
And it says I’m not gonna die for you anymore
I’m not gonna die for you - no more…

She said she loved me, she said she cared
Then she looked through me like I wasn’t even there
She acted grateful when I could help
But she tuned-out if I was talking ‘bout myself
The way she treats the ones she loves I now despise
But I’m a sucker for a painful pair of eyes
When all the pain I feel for her
Hits hard then every things a blur
And all the love I have inside
Just hits my face like lemon pie
I’m living miserably ever after, ever after
We’d fuss and fumble, we’d fuss and fight
I tried to teach her as if I knew what was right
I wore the armor I wore the cape
And tried to rescue her from every little scrape
And when she purposely walked out into a storm
I risked my life to bring her back where it was warm
When all the pain I feel for her
Hits hard then every things a blur
And all the love I have inside
Just hits my face like lemon pie
I’m living miserably ever after, ever after
I called a doctor, I called the shrink
I asked him “tell me doc exactly what you think
Am I a victim? Am I insane?
Do I have a re-verse wired mal-func-tion-ing brain?”
He asked “if you’re accepting love so cold and mean
Then might you hold yourself in very low esteem?”
(Yes! That’s it! Damn!)
When all the pain I feel for her
Hits hard then every things a blur
And all the love I have inside
Just hits my face like Custard pie
I’m living miserably ever after
ever after
ever after
ever after
ever after
ever after (sigh... you get the point)

Music to hurt to
Songs I can cry to
Somebody’s singin’
A song he could die to
Let me assure you
‘til I forget you
All I’ll be playing is music to hurt to
Way in the deep-dark-down, there’s a sad and mournful sound
That keeps playing in the back of my head
I hear minor thirds. I hear choking words.
That sound like broken promises, darling
They sound like things you said.
Music to hurt to
Songs I can cry to
Somebody’s singin’
A song he could die to
Let me assure you
‘til I forget you
All I’ll be playing is music to hurt to
I never knew so many songs were written about you
The bad ones at the Laundromat… the sad ones at the bar
I’ve got records by the stack, I’ve been picking certain tracks
So now there’s more than one of us who can wonder where you are.
