You should've left me long ago
Worthless troglodyte that I am
Fuck up, foul up, selfish sot
You shoulda dumped long ago

You were right to leave me
Dysthymic worm that I am
Lazy, crazy, foolish child
You were right to can my sorry ass

You made one mistake
My lovely, bright young girl
Wholesome, quick, beautiful soul
You made but one mistake....

You said yes.

I tied myself to the whipping post
I've knotted the cat tails
Waiting now for the ripping bite
I so deserve

I've dug the pit as deep as I can
I've planted the sharpened stakes
Teetering on the edge for the fall
I so richly deserve

I've sharpened the skimming knives
I've laid down at your table
Waiting for the reckless cuts
I so very much deserve

I claimed you as my stronghold
I said you were my salvation
(And you are)
But I've run so far
I feel the lonliness
I alone deserve.
