lyrics

It was Tuesday
Late September
You were desperate
Nobody else to call
Pick me up at eight
Promise, don’t be late
I cursed myself for picking up the phone

But I was waiting at the station
More than a feeling
You weren’t going to show
The train pulled away
Of course, it started to rain
I cursed myself and stumbled home alone

In the morning
Daylight screaming
My landlord wants to know who punched a hole in his wall?
Of course, it was you
The rent was overdue
I cursed myself, I’m better off alone

On the corner
Crooked sidewalk
All the doors were closed
The lights were out from here to there
Not another soul in the street
Unless you’re counting me
I cursed myself and stumbled home alone

It’s a blessing and a sickness
How you needed it so bad and always pushed me away
I’d see you on the street
Eighteen days a week
I’d curse myself and stumble home alone

Nothing’s forever

It’s a blessing and a sickness
How you needed it so bad and always pushed me away
I’d see you on the street
Eighteen days a week
I cursed myself, I’m better off alone
I cursed myself and stumbled home alone
