Ou told me happiness is just a moment From the steps of your Victorian apartment We sat outside The air was broken and summer was barging in The homeless lady pushed her shopping carts And your neighbors played mariachi music until 4 am You said, "When this one pa**es I should probably walk away." "Because I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get I'm a black hole. Empty and dead You can carve your name in stone But it's just not permanent." But you told me you think you loved me When you collapsed on the floor of your room After you told me to leave In that moment I realized I was sure I loved you too Now I'm always putting out fires with my bare hands Until two black stumps are all that remain I don't think my feeble heart's enough To blanket these growing flames You can drop me at the hospital I'll OD on morphine and dream about you As my heart seizes one more time before you go Then I'll probably wake up alone and be alone forever With an itch on my back that I cannot scratch In the shape of your heart Forever Everybody leaves Everybody leaves eventually Everybody breaks Bends to late Nobody's happy You'll never be happy this time When it's your heart on the line Take a step back -- who would really want to fall in love? Now it all plays out and the way you call me "babe" Dies with every other nickname I have so many nicknames I can't keep track anymore I'll bury them in bourbon and half-smoked cigarettes As we come to an end Or to an understanding I don't want to understand Because everybody leaves Everybody leaves eventually Everybody breaks Bends too late And no one is happy You'll never be happy this time When it's my heart on the line "If I can't love you, why would you ever love me back? I can't love you, why would you ever love me back? Dylan I don't know how to love you anymore So please don't love me back."
