I woke up
This morning
With an attitude
Looked
At the headlines
Put me
In a real bad mood
Sitting here in limbo
Trying to stay sane
Between the end
Of the summer
And the coming
Of the blessed rains
And I feel dirty
All the way down
I feel dirty, baby
Like this dirty town
I gave you everything
On a silver tray
Could have been
A fool forever
But I'm not made
That way
And after all
These years
I think it's time
To say goodbye
I'm doing you a favor
I will not help you
Live a lie
And believe me
If you think
I'm gonna catch you
When you fall
You don't know me
You don't know me
At all
I closed up the c**
Heard you confess
Baby, I knew better
But you were such
A pretty mess
You took
My breath away
Now I want it back
Ah
You should've
Killed me
You always looked
So good in black
And after all
These twisted roads
That we've been
Down together
I think it's time
To say goodbye
And believe me
You think
I'm gonna get down
And crawl
You don't know me
You don't know me
At all
Ooh, ooh
After all
These years
I think it's time
To say goodbye
I'm doing us
A favor, baby
You know
I cannot live a lie
And when you need me
And you think
I'm gonna be there
When you call
You don't know me
You don't know me
At all
You don't know me
At all
Not at all
You don't know me
At all
You don't know me
At all
