Give away a love
And then remove another too
Painted words adorn the walls
Echoing untrue
(I feel cold, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)
Promises abound
You rarely find it to begin
Maybe I'm afraid
To let you all the way in
(I guess so, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

Lately I'm beside myself
Pretending unconcerned
Standing at a corner
Where I threw you on a turn
(I'll move on, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)
Flowers on a cross remain
Mark an ending scene
Damn it all if blood you spill
Turn the grass more green
(Life is short, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)

I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
