You sat me down
Like a hospital case
I kind of lost face
You said "There's something I want you to know
There was a time that I found you attractive
But now that was so long ago"
I said "No, no, no, no
Too scared to let go"
I wish you had died in some war
I wish you had died in some war
Instead of you saying
That you didn't love me no more
Then I would get to lay flowers on your grave
Feel a bit deep
Feel a bit brave
Promise to carry your memory with me
Whereas I feel like a bag of debris
That can't hold the things that it loves
Why should it be harder to take
As a blow from above?
I wish you had died in some war
I wish you had died in some war
Instead of you saying
That you didn't love me no more
Ashamed to be slow
Slow to let go
How long must it take?
That's what I want to know
How many weeks for each year of my youth?
And how many days for each type of untruth?
Until I can say, "Hey, there's always the next one!"
Just jump on the next one
I met your new lover
I met your new friends
They were so nice, I hated them
We talked for a while about families and cars
I don't think it helped me to get very far
I don't think I needed to know
What is the point of it all?
It's all just for show
I wish you had died in some war
I wish you had died in some war
Instead of you saying
That you didn't love me no more
