THREE LAST WORDS
I want to give up the ghost but my heart is relentless
and I've got so much to learn about keeping my distance
I'm sorry my love, if my love seems malicious
I've still so much to learn about keeping my distance
vodka drains her girl mystique
but, like me, she laughs at the saddest things
I dodge the bullet but still my ears ring
like me she laughs at the saddest things
lust in the static dark, then the room was hostile white
did you mean what you said to me last night?
I've got a head full of noise and nothing feels right
did you mean what you said to me last night?
and I cry out your name, but nobody listens
and i've still so much to learn about keeping my distance
she offers the path of the least resistance
and the look in her eyes negates my defences
it's so hard to let go of love
I want to give up the ghost but my heart is relentless
and i cry out your name but nobody listens
I need the antidote but all you've got is more venom
and not enough, it seems, to put my heart in submission
she fades in, she fades out
she's faking her smile
but it what she's all about
ms. teary eyes, oh such a pretty pout
she's faking her smile but it's what she's all about
lust in the deep black dark, shivering in delight
did you mean what you said to me last night?
I've got a fistful of hate (hate) and nothing feels right
hanging on to the words you said to me last night
and I cry out your name to resounding indifference
and i've still so much to learn about keeping my distance
seeking your understanding, settling for her forgiveness
i cry out your name but it's sound is just vicious
it's so hard to let go of love
I want to give up the ghost but my heart is relentless
and I lie to myself that this time will be different
but my hand shakes, as does my conviction
as if three last words could make some kind of difference
she holds me, can't breathe now, room gets dark
and the light in my eyes goes out
she takes me in her deep red mouth
she sighs and the light in my eyes goes out
"love" in the static dark
fight the hostile white light
did you mean what you said to me last night?
I've got a heart full of glass and nothing feels right
hanging on to the words you said to me last night
til I cry out your name
and make one last decision
as I follow the path of the least resistance
I want to give up the ghost but my heart is relentless
and I've still so much to learn about keeping my distance
it's so hard to let go of love
