lyrics

Shouting outside through the window,
scattered, four sheets to the wind.
 The smell on the air is a battleground.
 I don’t know where to begin with all this  .

There are holes in the webbing 
from where I clung on to you .
There are fissures in the ceiling tiles 
wide enough for me to crawl through  .

Well, your love was a lie 
and your love’s gonna die 
and I kinda wanna be there when it happens.

Well, your love was a lie 
and your love’s gonna die 
and I kinda wanna be there when it happens to you.

Board up the holes in the window panes
 with the remnants of things that we owned .
Scatter the pieces in a hurricane  
named after someone we know

Well, your love was a lie 
and your love’s gonna die
 and I kinda wanna be there when it happens.

Well, your love was a lie 
 and I wanna be there when it happens to you
and I don’t know why I ever loved you .

I don’t know why I ever loved you, but I do

Resting a cheek on ceramic tiles 
like the cold, cold embrace of my lover .
Down in the depths of my cellars 
there are the desperate cries of another  .

Well, I still wonder if you ever think of me 
down in the dark, on your own ,
staring out from the bottom of 
the hole that you dug in the middle of your home.

Well, your love was a lie 
and your love’s gonna die 
and I kinda wanna be there when it happens.

Well, your love was a lie 
and your love’s gonna die
  and I wanna be there for you
and I can’t think why I ever loved you 

I don’t know why I ever loved you, but I still do.
