I am just another fool, and I have to, keep telling myself that
I am just a hypocrite, and I have to, keep calling you one
And I forgot to bite my tongue, and my assumption, was the mother of all mistakes
So I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape

So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away

I awake with your replacement, a bottle in my grasp, in an unfamiliar place
Because you put me out, the butt of a sick joke, into this ashtray life
As you come and go, and I forgot to service you, and we broke down
And you can´t live with my mistakes, so I assume false grace
Open my arms and grasp at something true

How are you, how have you been, girl I miss you, wanna see you again
So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away

I bring out the worst in you, and you try and let me know
You bring out the worst in me, anxiety, anxiety
I´m trying to let you go, you say I´m giving you the creeps
So I assume the role, open my claws and grasp for your heart

How are you, how have you been, girl I miss you, wanna see you again
Into you like a mortal stake so vindictive
Your love´s slipping away

Violins, into this ashtray life
Violins, the butt of your sick joke
Violins, I´m trying hard to let you go
Violins
