Song Lyrics

Oh, my baby now, if you knew
But you only look out for you
Since you left, I'm heavy drinking
You gave up just way too easy

Oh, my baby now if you knew
But you only look out for you
Since you left, I lack direction
No longer in your protection

Last cigarette on your final drag
At the end of your cul-de-sac
Leave you on read, how cold is that
I think this place will hold you back

Had to change a lot to change our view
What the hell was I meant to do?
All these angels and you had to be obtuse
But none of these problems are acute and this is not cute

On my car roof beneath the power lines
Talking bout the future then it just arrives
You slept on my sofa like every night
Doing any job around to get us by

You missed every birthday, every New Year's Eve
For that money now you're buying useless things
You were never happy being a human being
Is anyone up there as blue as me
Wherever you may be

(Interlude)

Yeah, our family name has curses
And some magic they can't purchase
Me and that city linked it's cursive
But I had to go all in immersive

And they'll hit you hope you
Stay down in your best jeans
With your chain out
While you're wedged into a greyhound
On the main road heading straight out
