[Verse 1]
So you've defined your worth through intelligent satire...
(But this is how it ends)
And you've sorted and filed all receipts for this tax year...
(But this is how it ends)
A well calculated and thought out budget...
(But this is how it ends)
Vitamins, Valium, vanity, something...
(But this is how it ends)
[Chorus](x2)
And it's another night thinking I should tell her I mean it
But I just sit there as she lies on her side
[Verse 2]
While you were breaking the ice I was breaking a sweat...
(But this is how it ends)
Far too much caffeine, too little regret...
(But this is how it ends)
You left a casual note, read: 'I'll see you later'...
(This is how it ends)
But you pushed down so hard that you broke the paper...
(And this is how it ends)
[Chorus](x2)
And it's another night thinking I should tell her I mean it
But I just sit there as she lies on her side
