i hereby negate our twin burdens
of history shared and grievances owed
i've got too many taped up pictures of you
and too many acid etched markings on my telephone
i don't regret being a little unfair or unkind
in my portrait of you
so don't go calling asking me if i still care
i think you know
for awhile my nails took a beating
i went to movies by myself
almost every day
our friends are a newsletter about your life
i didn't subscribe but i keep getting it anyway
i know we were in deep but don't get the wrong idea
about my scrapbooks and albums
the pictures that i keep
i keep there less for reminiscing than to see if they will fade
after 18 weeks
i know i wasn't wrong
there's this other guy
and he' worse than i expected
after 18 weeks
i see you forgetting me
there's this other guy
even sooner than projected
it really sucks to be right all the time
this song is the song that i'm writing for you
i'll try to find the right words
try to find something that hurts
we'll see how much damage i can do
what can i say
what can i do
sometimes it just suits me to be cruel
when you know him as well as you know me
you won't love him either
when he knows you as well as i do
he won't love you either
after 18 weeks you knock me out
with a volley of words and you make your escape
after 18 weeks i'm just another guy
and he's the one that's perfect in every way
i hereby negate our twin burdens
of history shared and grievances owed
but you know you've got a lot of nerve
pulling yourself together when i'm still alone
