1. Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
2. Your Midas touch on the Chevy door / November flush and your flannel cure
3. And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through
4. "She would've made such a lovely bride / What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said
5. I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush / I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
6. What must it be like to grow up that beautiful? / With your hair falling into place like dominos
7. My mind turns your life into folklore / I can't dare to dream about you anymore
8. There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me / But if it's all the same to you, it's the same to me
9. I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
10. And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own / To leave the warmest bed I've ever known
11. I made you my temple, my mural, my sky / Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
12. What would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins / Took this dagger in me and removed it / Gain the weight of you then lose it / Believe me, I could do it
13. "That ain't my merlot on his mouth / That ain't my jewelry on our joint account"
14. All the years I've given is just shit we're dividing up
15. I was dancing when the music stopped / And in the disbelief I can't face reinvention
16. There'll be happiness after you / But there was happiness because of you
17. No one teaches you what to do when a good man hurts you / And you know you hurt him too
18. You're a queen selling dreams, selling make up and magazines / Oh, from you I'd buy anything
19. If you're ever tired of being known for who you know / You know, you'll always know me
20. If this is the long haul, how'd we get here so soon?
21. I pushed you to the edge, but you were too polite to leave me
22. And do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
23. Will you forgive my soul when you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?
24. I can't stop you putting roots in my dreamland
25. I could be the way forward only if they pay for it
26. Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylon / With your boots beneath my bed, forever is the sweetest con
27. The knife cuts both ways / If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break
28. And I fell from the pedestal right down the rabbit hole
29. Long story short, I survived
30. Never be so polite, you forget your power / Never wield such power, you forget to be polite
31. And I complained the whole way there / The car ride back and up the stairs / I should've asked you questions / I should've asked you how to be
32. I know I'm just a wrinkle in your new life / Staying friends would iron it out so nice
33. Guilty, guilty, reaching out across the sea that you put between you and me
34. And I was catching my breath / Barefoot in the wildest winter / Catching my death
35. Whether weather be the frost or the violence of the dog days
36. Sometimes, to run is the brave thing / Sometimes, walking out is the one thing that will find you the right thing
37. If our love died young, I can't bear witness
