I am just another fool, and I have to, keep telling myself that I am just a hypocrit, and I have to, keep calling you one And I forgot to bite my tongue, and* my assumption, was* the mother of all mistakes So I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away I awake with your replacement, a bottle in my grasp, in an unfamiliar place Because you put me out, the butt of a sick joke, into this ashtray life As you come and go, and* I forgot to service you, and we broke down And you can't live with my mistakes, so* I assume false grace Open my arms and grasp at something true [chorus] How are you, how have you been, girl I miss you, wanna see you again So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away I bring out the worst in you, and* you try and let me know You bring out the worst in me, anxiety, anxiety I'm trying to let you go, you say I'm giving you the creeps So I assume the role, open my claws and grasp for your heart [repeat chorus] Into you like a mortal stake so vindictive Your love's slipping away Violins, into this ashtray life Violins, the butt of your sick joke Violins, I'm trying hard to let you go Violins
