when he sat next to me and played
i thought maybe his heart and mine
were somehow the same
cruel words he's compelled me to sing
sing them i will no longer sincerely
just drink yourself to death
so i never have to see you again
i know my love, it sounds cruel
but i'm not the one killing you
it would be a lovely thing
if only our hands were touching
but hearts are strong
bodies are weak
yet both do break when he does speak
drink yourself to death
so i never have to see you again
i know, my love
it sounds cruel
but i'm not the one killing you
and darling o how i do miss your
cigarette smoke tinged breath
breathing words of sweet affection
with their drunken inflection
just drink yourself to death
so i never have to see you again
i know my love
it sounds cruel but i'm the one killing you
cruel words he's compelled me to sing
sing them i will
no longer sincerely
