Poor You For Listening

You

You never were much fun

You made me hide my eyes

You hit me like the sun

A life built on routine has replaced that of surprise

And I've been feeling better since I turned away my eyes

Ever since you left me, I felt like I was new

And I haven't got much else to say to you

Poor me

Stick around and you will see

Poor me

Poor you for listening

All I ever want is morning

All I ever get is night

All I ever want is boring

All I ever get is fright

All I ever want is the doctor's office lollipop

All I ever get is the tetanus shot

All I ever want is the feeling that I'm over you

All I ever get is not

I

I want an empty world

I never had a friend

I never had a girl

All these things I've never had before, now I've got in spades

And hearts, and clubs, and diamonds for fifty-two straight days

As I step up to the table, I find I'm unprepared

All I got is poker, all I want is solitaire

Now

Now that we're apart

The party never stops

The boredom never starts

I haven't time to breathe now, that's why my face is red

As rings, and tones, and busy signals bounce about my head

Savoring what's left of sleep as I am forced to rise

And figuring I'm not missing much, fall back and close my eyes
