lyrics

well, you only call me when you're dangerously drunk, when you'd skitch in a rainstorm and profess your love. i ain't got the time to accept the charges when you call collect, so call someone else.

out of all the worst things that have ever happened to me, you've got to be the prettiest that i've ever seen. you spit when you talk and you stumble when you walk, you show up at my door at three o'clock, shouting shit, causing a ruckus saying, "i'm done with him." i'll echo the sentiment: i'm done with the whole damn thing. i've been writing so hard i've broken ever last heart that gets in the way. i've been writing so hard i've broken every last pen in the place.

logic dictates this won't be the last time that the cops are called before you call it a night, you got me singing sad songs, now i'm sick to death on stage, spilling guts over diminished fifths. no, i won't be the one to post your bail. it is the least of my concerns. scarlet, you only want what you can't have, you only want to hurt and to get hurt. so now you'll have to eat your words. you will and you won't, you tried and you don't, yes i know. you will and you won't, you tried and you don't, so just go. you will, now you won't, you only try when you're provoked. you will and you won't, you tried and you don't, so just go. just go.
