lyrics

on the morning you came to me
said, loving me made you feel weak didn’t know you meant it like you did
by the afternoon you’d made your move took every little piece of you
took your space and your love
and you left
was it hard when it was said and done was it a metaphor? it was a lazy one: how could you let the flame go out?
or was it easy and dangerous
like your shotgun
mouth and your cigarettes
you keep shooting me up, smoking me out
now i’m just like anybody else now i’m just like anybody else but i’m still myself
is it true hypocrisy
it ain’t half as fun as it used to be more like breaking a promise
to yourself
while i’m holed up alone again in a hotel in los angeles wishing i was anybody else
i wish that i was anybody else but i’m still myself
there’s a girl now in my hotel sheets i’m watching her consider me
watching her sleep
and when she dreams
she’s full of grace, i feel so bad
can’t get you out of my head maybe you finally found your way
and you could be like anybody else
but you’re still yourself we’re still ourselves
