I left my girl with my troubles, I watched them float away in a champagne bubble.
I left the wall lights on. And a bass line thumping to the same sad song.
I left the ink to dry on paper, it's like history repeating but you get to see it later.
I left my brogues at the door, barefoot running out for somewhere to explore.
Because it's so easily repeated.
But I want more I'm so conceited.
I already know what happens next, so I'll leave now with no regrets.
But first I'll thank you very much, for leaving me so out...of...touch.
I took the phone off the hook, and forgot about your voice like once read books.
I took just enough liquor, to tame the fire in my chest to a slowly burning flicker.
I took your picture from it's frame, and watched you burn away in an orange blue flame.
I took the things you made me trade, and cashed them all in for destiny delayed.
Because it's so easily repeated.
But I want more I'm so conceited.
I already know what happens next, so I'll leave now with no regrets.
But first I'll thank you very much, for leaving me so out...of...touch.
I pulled the shades from my face, took my eyes from the darkness and put them back in place.
I pulled myself from the ground, looked up at the clock and set the time to now.
I pulled your scent from my shirt, rolling up my sleeves I rubbed my hands in the dirt.
I pulled your memory from my head, to live another day. Yesterday is dead.
Because it's so easily repeated.
But I want more I'm so conceited.
I already know what happens next, so I'll leave now with no regrets.
But you should thank me very much, for leaving you, so out of touch.
