You're the part of a song, That we all love but takes too long,
To really quite just figure out, What the hell it's all about,
So here just let me start one right, I'm getting over you tonight,
And all the love we ever made, Things we said would change but stayed the same...here's your grave.
I'll be fine on my own, I'm better off all alone,
Now I can see, we're all that we could be.
But you'll be fine on your own, you're better off all alone,
When all the cards are played it's safe to call a spade a spade.
So here just let me get it all out, the things on my chest that's weighing me down,
To hell with your family and their blind faith in Christianity,
Excuse me while I empty my lungs, while they're rolling in pews and speaking in tongues,
Define the word "hypocrite" is the long and short of it.
I was true for all those years, don't ever doubt this my dear,
now tell me does this other man, do the things that I would do, tell me...would he die for you?
I'll be fine on my own, I'm better off all alone,
Now I can see, we're all that we could be.
But you'll be fine on your own, you're better off all alone,
When all the cards are played it's safe to call a spade a spade.
How could we be so mean? It just came naturally.
I hope that when you dream. That you rest easily.
I'll be fine on my own, I'm better off all alone,
Now I can see, we're all that we could be.
But you'll be fine on your own, you're better off all alone,
When all the cards are played it's safe to call a spade a spade.
