Lyrics
Idiot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I could worry
Worry about you
But I've been through that
All before
I could lie back
And let you fade out
If you think any other friend
Would do more
I believed you
When you held up your head
And bullshit your way
Out of time
Could it be that
I'm over you
Or maybe I'm tired
Of keeping you alive
I can't make it go away
I can't make it go away
I could show you
How pathetic you are
You've been lying to me
All along
Put a mirror
In front of you now
Take a good look
And tell me that I'm wrong
Every hour
Every minute you wait
Forget about counting on me
To come through
You're collected
And ready to break
I'm not gonna hold your hand
Like a fool
I can't make it go away
I can't make it go away
If I could put an end
To your mission idiot
I'd want you here with me my friend
I could worry
Worry about you
But I've been through that
All before
I could lie back
And let you fade out
If you think any other friend
Would do more
I can't make it go away
I can't make it go away
If I could put an end
To your mission idiot
I'd want you here with me my friend
