When he sat next to me and played
I thought maybe his heart and mine
Were somehow the same
Cruel words he's compelled me to sing
Sing them I will no longer sincerely

Just drink yourself to death
So I never have to see you again
I know my love, it sounds cruel
But I'm not the one killing you

It would be a lovely thing
If only our hands were touching
But hearts are strong, bodies are weak
Yet both do break when he does speak

Drink yourself to death
So I never have to see you again
I know, my love
It sounds cruel
But I'm not the one killing you

And darling o how I do miss your
Cigarette smoke tinged breath
Breathing words of sweet affection
With their drunken inflection

Just drink yourself to death
So I never have to see you again
I know my love
It sounds cruel but I'm the one killing you

Cruel words he's compelled me to sing
Sing them I will no longer sincerely
