lyrics
Try to be nice, try to be good,
all of the things we said that we should;
do to keep our love alive,
do to keep ourselves from crying.
But I cannot pay your bills,
or keep you warm when you're chilled;
I guess I'll take this cold alone,
I guess I will and I guess you won't.
You better save yourself from me.
Please don't get along to far.
Is there nothing I can do?
Falling down on the side of the road,
waiting for you to get home.
No I'm not going to stay all night,
just until I see headlights.
I've got something better still:
when you're well I'll make you ill.
Keep you sick, all of the time;
much to weak to leave my side.
We can see it coming on down the line,
it might be tomorrow could be tonight.
Can't forget it, cannot heal,
all around a shitty deal;
and the bars and the drugs and the therapists
won't help us now, won't change our luck.
So we hide our heads under the sheets
and we fight some more before we go to sleep.
No one loves you more than me.
