And it's a stupid mistake when everything you say I believe
As I maunder on about words you never did mean
The liquor on the roof of your mouth tells me a different story
About how love can't live inside of you for very long before you're through

And I should say goodbye
But I don't, and so we won't
Because it hurts much more being alone

The tears that filled my eyes when I saw him you believed
Because pain is a feeling - that's better than not feeling a thing
Oh, but I knew you before - why did I fall, why did I stay?
Oh, if I had anything left you know I would leave (I don't know what I want to do here)

And I should say goodbye
But I don't, and so we won't
Because it hurts so much more when I'm alone
Mmm, when I'm alone
