That's All There Is

You sat in a bar or in the back of a car
Revealing far too much
To someone who's graced with a trustworthy face
And who listens to all of your talk
But in a week from now when you see him on the street
Both of you will look away
Pretending to be strangers or plainly look away
Because it's the easiest way

But I wanted to stay close to you
You stayed with me all night long
Because you needed to
And that's all there is
I hated when you told the truth
I had to throw you out for good
To save me from myself

Life is a series of pointless conversations
Hiding all that stuff underneath
Trying hard to manage all your luxury problems
While waiting for a chance to reproduce
All the stinking values of your mother and your father
You know you follow close behind
And no matter what you choose you know you're gonna lose
But even so

You stayed because I wanted to
I wanted to stay with you
Because I needed to
And that's all there is
I hated when you saw right through
I went and pulled a knife into
The remains of our love, our love, our love

I wanted to stay close to you
You stayed with me all night long
Because you needed to
And that's all there is
I hated when you told the truth
I had to throw you out for good
To save me from myself, myself, myself
