lyrics

Why do I always think of you with the razor to my face?
A bloody mess and I am off to work
Or the cold of outer space

Why do I always think of you when I lay my bones to sleep?
Maybe share a dance or a drink in a dream with you
But honey that ain’t nothing I can keep

Why do I always think of you while passing empty benches in the park?
I’m so blue, well you are too
This cold winter’s proof that we’re apart

How do you pull a rug from under a weight this bad?

Why do I always fall to pieces at the mention of your name?
Even with the strongest glue
I never end back the same

Why do I always think of you when the cold cold wind blows?
Well hell maybe your shoulders can feel it too
But baby I just don’t know

Why do I always think of you when you’re such a distant memory?
If you knew that I thought of you
I’d hide away, I wouldn’t let you see

How do you pull a rug from under a weight this bad?
