Miami

I woke up on the hour when she came out of the shower I went down on her, golden sunlight through the curtains Rooster in the street, bienvenidos a Miami But she wouldn't touch me, and hadn't for weeks I wish I could collect all of the subtle rejections Wrap them all up in a bow, say "Thank you, nice to know you I loved all of our time, maybe I'll see you down the line You know you never knew my worth Honestly, neither did I" All the beautiful people in a beautiful place in a beautiful room I guess I'm the strange one Who's just taking up space and blocking the view My mom always said, "Never victimize yourself You've got to be strong, yu've got to protect yourself" You know, your father and I are in the last stage of our lives So for god's sake, no more talk of how you imagine dying" I say this all the time, ma, but I'm really doing fine, ma I mean you know sometimes, ma, life is just plain trying, ma Just because I'm brooding and wanna kill everything moving It doesn't mean I'm losing my marbles, I'm just moody Clean up all the memories Sweep the bad under the rug, put the good inside a coffer I wish I knew anything 'Cause even at my best, I don't know why I even bother This is the hard part The part that they don't tell you about There is the art of loving This is the art of forgetting how This is gonna break you You're gonna rip your own heart out There is the art of loving This is the art of forgetting how This is the art of forgetting how This is the art of forgetting how This is the art of forgetting how This is the art of forgetting how You've gotta get through this life somehow You've gotta get through this life somehow You've gotta get through this life somehow You've gotta get through this life somehow
