A Declaration of Truth About Love
They'll never tell you why
No, they'll never give you the truth
Then they drill their alibis
At the mouths of their excuses
As they outline your insides
Like drafting a map, or something
But then you yawn under an awning
waving me onwards towards collapse
But if it's a matter of things to have
if it's a matter of chemicals interacting, well then
I would rather love someone I know I'll never have
Than have someone I know I'll never love
I'd rather be with no one
Than with someone just barely good enough
I trace the paper night streets
From under the waning moon above me
I trace the lines in my face completely
I face the paper in great defeat
As the streets, they shake me off, get up and leave
I shake the shit from off my sleeves
I shake away the sham of disbelief
Because I would rather love someone I know I'll never have
Than have someone I know I'll never love
I'd rather be with no one
Than with someone just barely good enough
No, they'll never give you the truth
Then they drill their alibis
At the mouths of their excuses
As they outline your insides
Like drafting a map, or something
But then you yawn under an awning
waving me onwards towards collapse
But if it's a matter of things to have
if it's a matter of chemicals interacting, well then
I would rather love someone I know I'll never have
Than have someone I know I'll never love
I'd rather be with no one
Than with someone just barely good enough
I trace the paper night streets
From under the waning moon above me
I trace the lines in my face completely
I face the paper in great defeat
As the streets, they shake me off, get up and leave
I shake the shit from off my sleeves
I shake away the sham of disbelief
Because I would rather love someone I know I'll never have
Than have someone I know I'll never love
I'd rather be with no one
Than with someone just barely good enough
