Can I let jealousy blind me today? My oldest friend, and I blew her away Just a few kind words, and all I could say Was ‘I’ve known you, what, 10 years and it feels like a day”
And I watched her cry Torn apart at the hands of a child
You cannot use arrogance as something to depend Condemned all religion to a pitiless end And a politician’s resonance ran through my mind Patriotic in one sense, in the other just blind
And I watched them cry Torn apart at the hands of a child I’ll keep on going, I’ve got nothing to lose I gave up morals when I took up booze And it’s boring to hear of another young you What a typically shit thing to do
And I was so shallow to the one man who stuck around Sunk so low that I nearly drowned And I screamed of his heart when he wasn’t around Consoled him recklessly, I knew he was done
Oh, he all but died Torn apart at the hands of a child And I’ll keep on going, I’ve got nothing to lose I gave up morals when I took up booze And it’s boring to hear of another young you What a typically shit thing to do
And I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like And I have felt heartbreak now and I know that it hurts, right I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like The ground is to swallow you up and you know what it hurts, right
And I’ll keep on going, I’ve got nothing to lose I gave up morals when I took up booze And it’s boring to hear of another young you What a typically shit thing to do
