I've lost far too much to care
From afar, you touch the tear
Feelings marred, I clutch your stare
I've lost far too much to bear
Cigarettes begin my day
Better yet, they singe me grey
I could bet on what you'd say
Please just make it go away
Can't you see that I'm in pain?
Don't you hear me call your name?
You've just got to stake your claim
On the boy that never came
When the sun returns, my dear
Don't question what I'm doing here
You knew that I would one day steer
My way back to your jagged spear
So on the day that neither know
Be sunny, grey or white with snow
I'll deal out the fatal blow
And on our separate paths we go

I've lost far too much to care
From afar, you touch the tear
Feelings marred, I clutch your stare
I've lost far too much to bear
Cigarettes begin my day
Better yet, they singe me grey
I could bet on what you'd say
Please just make it go away
Can't you see that I'm in pain?
Don't you hear me call your name?
You've just got to stake your claim
On the boy that never came
When the sun returns, my dear
Don't question what I'm doing here
You knew that I would one day steer
My way back to your jagged spear
So on the day that neither know
Be sunny, grey or white with snow
I'll deal out the fatal blow
And on our separate paths we go
