I don't want to write this song
It's kind of sad and too forlorn
I don't want to say your name

After far too much dawdling, too much procrastination, and far too many perfectionistic tendencies, I am finally going to file my initial divorce papers in the morning. I have them all printed up, . . .

if you thought that I would crumble
think again
if you thought I couldn't tumble
think again
think again and again and again and again
if you think you will still be my friend
think again

when I think of those sweet love songs
that were never meant for me
oh, how I break down and cry
I've been waiting for far too long
for true love filled with ecstasy
why it won't . . .

you look comfortable to me
you could be my easy chair (repeat)
I could soften up in your arms
as long as no one else is there
you're on slow simmer baby
like my favorite comfort food (repeat)
I want . . .

when he wants me near
I want to flee far away
when he tells me he loves me
I wish I could just die today
when he calls me sweetheart
I wish he would not adore
when he touches me
I feel like a cheap whore . . .

you don't need love cause you got money
and you can go buy any girl's honey
if that's what you wanted all along
I never cared for diamond rings
or any of those superficial things

I hope I haven't been bugging you too much
I have no idea why you captured my heart
Though we haven't so much as touched
you know I'm willing to one day start
I heard the siren call . . .

I'm not sure if I'm ready for you
or if you're even ready for me
I won't tell any tales out of school
or rattle on about our destiny
I just get a thrill at the sound
of your . . .

oh love
I guess it's gone
so gone it splits your mind
spills your carefully shaken drink
leaves a stain that will take too many tears
that wretched spot will not come clean
it gives . . .

shameless kisses are what I most crave
blameless passion in my heart is brave
why can't we have a hopeful tête-à-tête
though by twists and turns we soon forget
that pilgrims blush in hopes . . .

I don't know why I put up with your silence so long
I'm feeling like I've gone about this all wrong
all the letters I sent and the poems I wrote
only have me praying for an antidote . . .

What tender solace wounds my pride
when you are in proximity?
And yet your silence burns inside
from far away with every plea
that my soul makes before our God
to bring our lives into concert. . . .

you could have said you're sorry
but I don't think that you are
so I cause myself to worry
knowing that you're so afar
from the hope that keeps me wishing
for the things that won't . . .

don't think I'm crying for you
the pain that I feel is the dross
that's burning away
no one deserves what's true
for we all owe the cost
that we inevitably pay
when I make . . .

hello to you my ever constant friend
I hope my longing doesn't have to end
my heart is heavy with honest regret
especially for what hasn't happened yet
but even so I'm not exactly sure . . .

I don't have the guts to do myself in
so let the whole world end in flames
why did I even listen to my sin
when my heart whispered your name
you never wanted me from the start
but that was . . .

why did I tear you down
why did I make you cry
I took off your crown
and left you out to dry
my jealousy poisoned
the care I felt for you
and now you're imprisoned
in some abandoned . . .

don't you worry 'bout me honey
I'll get by all by myself
don't you worry 'bout me baby
I'll get by all by myself
now don't look at me all funny
just cause you put me on . . .
