lyrics

You push me around
You tug at my heart
With your voice in my ear
You think you're so smart
You push me away
You tell me we're through
Then with every corner I turn
I come face-to-face with you

I pull myself apart
Shredded seams and busted joints
I don't remember why I came here
I don't see the point
Cause I forget how to love
And I lose all my friends
Guided by some patronizing
Obsession to pretend

You turn your vows into headlines
Like the die had been cast
You were the bride of the season
Then autumn came too fast

And in a few more years
Your smile won't be so clever
And I'll have cleaned myself up
Have the puzzle put together
There's no place for you here
So stop wasting your time
Catch a bus back to the Great Lakes
For the man you left behind.
