They gave a name
To the thing in my brain
That took me away from you
And I thought that knowing
Would ease the pain
But now I just know who to blame
And it turns out the bottom line’s
Always the same
And I know his name
But he’s so well behaved
How could he be like they say
I wanted to change
And I thought I could trade
All the pain for the perfect charade
but the upkeep is more
than I know how to pay
and it saps all the joy
from the game that I play
I’ll be laughing when
We fall this way
When we fall this way
When we finally decide to stay
