Miami

I woke up on the hour when she came out of the shower
I went down on her, golden sunlight through the curtains
Rooster in the street, bienvenidos a Miami
But she wouldn't touch me, and hadn't for weeks

I wish I could collect all of the subtle rejections
Wrap them all up in a bow, say "Thank you, nice to know you
I loved all of our time, maybe I'll see you down the line
You know you never knew my worth
Honestly, neither did I"

All the beautiful people in a beautiful place in a beautiful room
I guess I'm the strange one
Who's just taking up space and blocking the view

My mom always said, "Never victimize yourself
You've got to be strong, yu've got to protect yourself"
You know, your father and I are in the last stage of our lives
So for god's sake, no more talk of how you imagine dying"

I say this all the time, ma, but I'm really doing fine, ma
I mean you know sometimes, ma, life is just plain trying, ma
Just because I'm brooding and wanna kill everything moving
It doesn't mean I'm losing my marbles, I'm just moody

Clean up all the memories
Sweep the bad under the rug, put the good inside a coffer
I wish I knew anything
'Cause even at my best, I don't know why I even bother

This is the hard part
The part that they don't tell you about
There is the art of loving
This is the art of forgetting how

This is gonna break you
You're gonna rip your own heart out
There is the art of loving
This is the art of forgetting how

This is the art of forgetting how
This is the art of forgetting how
This is the art of forgetting how
This is the art of forgetting how

You've gotta get through this life somehow
You've gotta get through this life somehow
You've gotta get through this life somehow
You've gotta get through this life somehow
