The Decline

She said, "come with me
Listen with me, dance around the room
Feel life, feel love, feel me..."

But I never cared for the songs
And I was at loss when I read her letters
Besides B-sides are always better

She said, "let's fall in love at least for tonight"
But her blouse was far too tight
Although I fought with it for hours
Amongst other things (cold showers)
It never felt right

You know
You know I could never love you again
You know
So why put yourself through this beginning a certain end

So no more late night wine
Plotting perfect crimes
Oh yes, all of the good times
As I later found the "good times"
Were better for you than for me

And the letters I found
A-side aside
I left with a remnant of pride
It's all I have left; it's all I have left
I can't afford to lose anymore

She said, "one last dance we were so good together"
Correction I was good with you
And you were good with others
I'm going home
I'm going home

You know
You know I could never love you again
You know
So why put yourself through this beginning a certain end

You know
You know I could never love you again
You know
So why put yourself through this beginning a certain end
