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
