Lyrics

Divorce Song

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.

And when I asked for a separate room

It was late at night

And we'd been driving since noon

But if I'd known

How that would sound to you

I would have stayed in your bed

For the rest of my life

Just to prove I was right

That it's harder to be friends than lovers

And you shouldn't try to mix the two

Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy

Then you know that the problem is you

And it's true that I stole your lighter

And it's also true that I lost the map

But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to

I had to take your word on that

But if you'd known

How that would sound to me

You would have taken it back

And boxed it up and buried it in the ground

Boxed it up and buried it in the ground

Boxed it up and buried it in the ground

Burned it up and thrown it away

You put in my hands a loaded gun

And then told me not to fire it
