Shameless
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.
Well there's nothing more to add before I leave
This thing of ours is dead, and don't you grieve
Is it me, or are they younger every night?
Just because they can, doesn't make it alright
And I'm hanging by my teeth
Waiting on quick relief
Well the kids don't sleep for days
I could die in a hundred odd ways
I'm so sick of hearing
That enough of this has died
But don't tell me
You could do it if you tried
Well it's a shame and a sham
He's half as old as I am
Don't tell me
He could look good if he tried
Well he sacrificed a life remarkably
It's really such a lazy way to be
Hiding in the bedroom, climbing up the walls
You've gotta kick it out of me gently, 'til he
Begs and pleads and crawls
I'm so sick of hearing
That enough of this has died
But don't tell me
You could do it if you tried
Well it's a shame and a sham
He's half as old as I am
Don't tell me
He could look good if he tried
I'm so sick of hearing
That enough of this has died
But don't tell me
You could do it if you tried
Well it's a shame and a sham
He's half as old as I am
Don't tell me
He could look good if he tried
What did they show my mother?
She guessed half my weight in gold
To tell her I just did
What I was told
Grab your expensive coat
That they'll bury you inside
But don't tell me
You could do it
If you tried
