When you came back I became your host
Your skin was pale, you looked just like a ghost
It was then that I proposed that
You'd gone too far
You split my soul in three seconds flat
And you spoke of the fire we breathe
And the chansons we sang
Yet I cursed at you but after our chat
Well, we couldn't part
But when I shut down in fear
You took to lifting the celestial sphere
And I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Baby, I want to thank you
For the good times and the ball
For the gifts hung on my wall
But most of all I want to thank you
For being there at all
Some days you'd hint at a change of your heart
You'd put me down for being too young
And I'd feel so betrayed, I could puncture your lung
With the pen clenched in my fist
Oh, I could be unfair
I did accuse you of harvesting the good times
And sowing the bad
While I was impotently sad
But that's not all the truth
For all joy shed in tear
I thought you'd be lifting the celestial sphere
And I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Baby, I want to thank you
For the good times and the ball
For the gifts hung on my wall
But most of all I want to thank you
For being there at all
For all joy shed in tear
I thought you'd be lifting the celestial sphere
And I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Baby, I want to thank you
For the good times and the ball
For the gifts hung on my wall
But most of all I want to thank you
For being there at all
