i've got it now, a thorn in my side the size of a cadillac.
drive it through, cause backin' up now would be next to
impossible. i had it all. when i was with you i forgot about
everything. eighteen months, eighteen months seems like fucking
eternity... but you'll be there, to dry my eyes when i breathe
you in. in ninety seven... in ninety seven. i've got it now,
like a thorn in my side the size of a cadillac. drive it
through, cause backin' up now would be next to impossible. i
had it all. when i was with you i forgot about everything.
eighteen months... i won't breathe for eighteen months. i don't
deserve this... i don't deserve this... i don't deserve this.
no, i don't deserve this... i don't deserve this. no, i don't
deserve this... i don't deserve this. no, i don't deserve this.
no, i don't deserve this. no, i don't deserve this, no.
