I would proudly pretend with you
If that's what you need
For me to do
For me to do for you
I would proudly pretend with you
I would proudly pretend
That I'm a fool
I'm a fool
I remember when you told me, there'd be
I remember when you told me, there'd be
I remember when you told me, there'd be
Days like this
Well, it's been years
Months and weeks and years
Get these golden handcuffs off me
Get this piano off my back
I wanna run
I wanna run
Hit-and-run kinds of conversations
Can't get a word in edgewise
Except "uh-huh"
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
I remember when you told me, there'd be
I remember when you told me, there'd be
I remember when you told me, there'd be
Days like this
What about years?
Months and weeks and years
I guess I always thought that my life would be
More like a makeover scene in a movie
But you gotta
Suffer for yourself, baby
Suffer for yourself
You got this peculiar way
Of giving your help, you say
"Bring out the tiny violin
A choir of angels and
Suffer for yourself, baby
Suffer for yourself"
I remember when you told me, there'd be
I remember when you told me, there'd be
I remember when you told me, there'd be
Days like this
But it's been years
Months and weeks and years
