You know the drill,
it's been a hard time for a long time.
I wish there was something I could do to make this alright,
soon you'll be fine.
I've made share of bad mistakes,
but this bad luck's gotta break sometime.
No matter what destroys your life,
I'll be by your side.
But the snow is piling up,
and there's a hundred drifts.
that I've decided I could probably
lay down and die in.
It's just been one of those months,
one of those twenty years.
With a mind full of invented problems
and a book of lines that will never solve them.
See but I'd rather bend than hear those words again,
she said "I love you but I'm not in love."
