Writer In The Dark
Break the news - you're walking outTo be a good man for someone elseSorry I was never good like youStood on my chest and kept me downHated hearing my name on the lips of a crowdDid my best to exist just for you
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the darkBet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the darkNow she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heartBet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stopsI'll love you 'til you call the cops on meBut in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret powerI'll find a way to be without you, babe
I still feel you, now and thenSlow like pseudo-ephedrineWhen you see me, will you say I've changed?I ride the subway, read the signsI let the seasons change my mindI love it here since I've stopped needing you
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the darkBet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the darkNow she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heartBet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stopsI'll love you 'til you call the cops on meBut in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret powerI'll find a way to be without you, babe
