lyrics

You told me happiness is just a moment
from the steps of your Victorian apartment.
We sat outside.
The air was broken and summer was barging in.
The homeless lady pushed her shopping carts,
and your neighbors played mariachi music until 4 am.
You said, "When this one passes I should probably walk away."

"Because I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get.
I'm a black hole. Empty and dead.
You can carve your name in stone,
but it's just not permanent."

But you told me you think you loved me,
when you collapsed on the floor of your room.
After you told me to leave,
in that moment,
I realized I was sure I loved you too.

Now I'm always putting out fires with my bare hands,
until two black stumps are all that remain.
I don't think my feeble heart's enough
to blanket these growing flames.
You can drop me at the hospital.
I'll OD on morphine and dream about you,
as my heart seizes one more time before you go.

Then I'll probably wake up alone and be alone forever.
With an itch on my back that I cannot scratch.
In the shape of your heart.
Forever.

Everybody leaves.
Everybody leaves eventually.
Everybody breaks.
Bends to late.
Nobody's happy.
You'll never be happy this time,
when it's your heart on the line.
Take a step back -- who would really want to fall in love?

Now it all plays out and the way you call me "babe"
dies with every other nickname.
I have so many nicknames I can't keep track anymore.
I'll bury them in bourbon and half-smoked cigarettes,
as we come to an end.
Or to an understanding I don't want to understand.

Because everybody leaves.
Everybody leaves eventually.
Everybody breaks.
Bends too late.
And no one is happy.
You'll never be happy this time,
when it's my heart on the line.
"If I can't love you, why would you ever love me back?
I can't love you, why would you ever love me back?
Dylan I don't know how to love you anymore,
so please don't love me back."
