it's always bittersweet watching my friends fall in love
it starts a chain reaction i don't know the end of
the fire in my belly works its way up to my face
i don't wanna hurt anyone i love so i popped a pill and got out of that place
so i laid down on the roof of her car to see if god would tell me anything
i read my tea leaves in the stars and that motherfucker wouldn't tell me anything
i don't wanna go down to where the lonely people are
i'm worried i'll let this go too far
indulge me a moment and light my cigar
i know i'm overreacting
but why'd you make a perfect boy to punish me
filled him up with love and creativity
then dropped him hundreds of miles away from me
you know i'm not prepared to cope
i would crush my arm in a hydraulic press
i would gouge out my eyes just to feel his caress
as i lay me down to rest
the fire burns ever brighter
i don't wanna go down to where the lonely people are
i'm worried i've let this go too far
i can't even look at you any more
without that sinking feeling
