| Everything’s coming off
|
| And I’m falling faster than our clothes can hit the floor
|
| I know I shouldn’t ask you if you hate it
|
| I said, «honey are you sure?»
|
| I know we’re moving fast
|
| But where we’re headed you haven’t been before
|
| And I know we aren’t perfect
|
| But at least we won’t be lonely anymore
|
| How are you so good to me?
|
| How are you so good to me?
|
| By the fire in your eyes and the skin of my teeth
|
| How are you so good to me?
|
| It started with the walks around the block
|
| When you were mad to clear your mind
|
| And every now and then became more often
|
| Now you’re sorry all the time
|
| But time can be a prison or a dream
|
| Depending on how you read the clock
|
| You say you’re going to leave me
|
| And I hope someday the tick does more than talk
|
| How are you so good to me?
|
| How are you so good to me?
|
| I see the fire in your eyes, by the skin of my teeth
|
| Why are you doing this to me?
|
| I started making plans
|
| A little poison in your drink to ease my nerves
|
| I hated every second I gave to you
|
| I know you don’t deserve
|
| But I want you like a dying man
|
| Who gave up on his dreams when he was young
|
| Naming every hour that he wasted
|
| After things he could have done
|
| But I won’t put up with it
|
| No I’ll put it down
|
| I’ve learned to bury things I hate deep in the ground
|
| And I carry all the little trophies of your touch
|
| But today, I’m gonna beat you to the punch
|
| Why are you so good to me?
|
| How are you so good to me?
|
| I see the fire in your eyes, by the skin of my teeth
|
| How are you so good to me?
|
| Now you’ll always be good to me
|
| I stared at all the things we’d never have
|
| And the blood around my feet became my throne
|
| I ran my little fingers down his back
|
| Whispered «I'm the only love you’ll never know» |
