lyrics

Love sickness is a real disease
I need a brain transplant, mine is killing me

We're going nowhere, but we're taking our time
While you sadistically mangle this heart of mine
My mouth is shut tight like your true love's eyes
But my mind keeps begging to believe your lies

But you try so hard,
And you talk so sweet
And you look so good
When you pretend for me
Now I'm all alone
The way it should be

Put us both together and what do you get?
A letter full of lies and a bed of regret
This love is going nowhere, it was doomed from the start
But you have turned playing me into a work of art
So I put us both together and what did I get?
A pocketful of guilt and a cigarette

But you try so hard
And you talk so sweet
And you look so good
When you pretend for me
Now I 'm all alone
The way it should be

Put us both together and what do you get?
A letter full of lies and a bed of regret
This love was going nowhere it was doomed from the start
But you have turned playing me into a work of art
So I put us both together and what did I get?
A pocketful of guilt and a cigarette

I'm not the one who will shut up and listen
I don't care what you think
I'm bailing ship, not tossing out anchor
And I'll laugh as I watch you sink

I've been told that this doesn't work
I guess I had to learn for myself
I hope that your life turns out swell
But know that you put me through hell
