They took advantage of you
And your rosegold spirit with a glass heart
But what did you expect when you
Give it all and they just keep fuckin' taking away
It's a sinking ship, but you love to drown
In the depths of that proverbial panic
When you're manic, anchored down
Make it quick, we'll build a neat rocket ship
And we'll blast off outta this town
We got the message with no warning
(Your mother cried so innocent)
They found a vacancy this morning
(Your father hasn't spoke in weeks)
I miss things making sense cuz
It was only you who could make 'em
I wish I could say I didn't understand
I hate it but I understand you now
You were bold, in control,
But then they toppled the world
And your poor shoulders had hit their limit
But there's always room for bad ideas
Now the way it is, is the way it ends
And a thousand words couldn't make amends
For the ones you left and their discontent
As if you didn't love them enough
(They didn't love you enough)
I wish I rang you up again
I wish I could stay sober
I'd give up everything I have
But you're gone and the air gets colder still
Her color's fading but I see red,
So deep so distant from me
We got the message with no warning
(Your mother cried so innocent)
They found a vacancy this morning
(Your father hasn't spoke in weeks)
I miss things making sense cuz
It was only you who could make 'em
But I understand...
