Hold me back, but hold me close

And tell me where the story goes

Alive, I guess I'll never know

More subtle ways to say "I told you so"

I can sell you anything

A Solo cup, a gummy ring

A liar of a wilder breed

You gather what you need to feed your soul

And it's kinda sinking through me

Fooled, then you slung me like a slinky

I know you'll never change your ways, but I can't seem to care

Couldn't care at all

Take it from me, speaking backwards

I understand for once

The pain I put you through

Like a cold breeze in your house

Far be it from me

Inching forward, I'm making sense for once

Empty and renewed

Moving clearly through a fog

I will never know you

'Cause you will never know me too

On 6th Ave 'neath the willow tree

A book called "Mars" I'll never read

A cold brew I forgot to drink

Like the fire that you need to feed your soul

And it's kinda sinking through me

Fooled, then you slung me like a slinky

I know you'll never change your ways, but I can't seem to care

Couldn't care at all

I know you'll never change your ways, but I can't seem to care

No, couldn't care at all
