I'm going to dress up tonight
I'll look real fretty for i don't know who
I'll find my own way around this great big city
And I'll sit at a bar and have a drink
I'll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings
I know you like to visit them from time to time
Like a theif I steal the words you write to her
I take them to my heart and I wish that they were mine
This is nothing new
But it ain't nothing new
You long for sweetness
Does mine make you sickly
Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require
There's nothing sweet about a heart so embittered
It;s ugly and it's cold and tonight it's out for hire
This is nothing new
But it ain't nothing her
We live through this day after day
Complacency's a curse
But you just can't escape it
I've arrived at a place where my tolerance gave way
And i struggle to hold my head up high
