How To Suffer

If you could teach me how to suffer

I'd never leave you for another

I'll help you clean your plate

And we could erase all our mistakes

Remember when I said that,

I didn't really mean it

But you turned away, you turned away

I'll help you clean your plate,

And we could repeat our past mistakes

And now who wins?

Now who's the sucker?

I've watched more lines slip by than a trucker

What are your regrets?

Do you have regrets?

I'm obviously not done yet

Why don't I feel things like you do,

And why don't you think that my words are true?

I heard a whisper, a silent small stutter,

Slight hesitation, "will you be my lover?"

If we could just trick each other,

I'd never leave you for another

You think I'm perfect and I think you're too

We'll fool the world, and I'll love you true

And now who wins?

Now who's the sucker?

I've watched more lines slip by than a trucker

What are your regrets?

Do you have regrets?

I'm obviously, obviously

You and me

Not done yet
