Armchair Martian - Whipping Boy lyrics

(from "Happy Meals Vol. 3" Compilation) (Originally by Lagwagon) Now it's simple to me Sometimes you have to let go When there's next to nothing She says yes every time he says no More pain than love Push comes to shove almost every time you speak Somehow you fight Somehow you're crazy Somehow it's taking all the life left in you You're losing ground Carrying that torch You ain't asking for much Still somehow she's had time to heal And she doesn't need you any longer and you Had time to drink You call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger At three in the morning she says stop calling 'cause everyone's asleep Some of us work You're driving me crazy I've learned to get on with my life Now every night's Friday night Picking fights with your friends You're trying to make amends You search for comfort in a friend It ain't the same She don't understand You both learned to think alike What was so wrong Where's she tonight? Out there drinking while you're left home thinking It's taken all the life left in you You're losing ground Carrying that torch You ain't asking for that much Still somehow you'll wait for her You say she'll return But you still carry that torch That girl Whipping boy
