lyrics

Cold was the night
that he left you behind
without a trace
except the tear
that is sliding down your face

Your pulse picks up the pace
as your heart pushes anger through your veins.
He was vain. And conceited.
You know that now.
You know that now he's off with someone else,
and you're alone.
And you're alone.

He seemed so sincere,
When he told you that he loved you,
but underneath the veneer,
he thought himself above you.

Bright is the light of the fire in your mind,
Once you've doused his whole house in gasoline.
Hard are the bullets that are riddling his brain.
You're shaking, and taking your ritalin again.

Soft is the bed, where you now lay down your head.
Where you spoon-fed him your ice cream,
and then spooned into a wet dream.
It was the first place that he said it,
and you wish you could forget it,
'cause as sure as you're alive,
you know it was a lie.

He seemed so sincere,
When he told you that he loved you,
but underneath the veneer,
he thought himself above you.
He held you tight,
as the sun was descending,
but, your friends were right -
he was so condescending.

Descending down your face
are a thousand little tears,
that drip into your ears
as you lay down on your back,
looking back
staring at the ceiling.
Wondering if this feeling
will ever pass, go,
and collect two hundred dollars.
But why even bother,
when all you can do
is cry?
and cry.

So cry until there's no tears left,
until your hearts at rest,
until you want to die
until you don't know why
you ever cried.
