Lyrics:
(Verse) I am just another fool and I have to keep telling myself that. I
am just a hypocrite and I have to keep calling you one. Cause I forgot to
bite my tongue, and my assumption is the mother of all mistakes.
(Bridge) As I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape.
(Chorus) So why you want to be there, when you could be here, you are
slipping away.
(Verse) I awake with your replacement, a bottle in my grasp, in an
unfamiliar place. Because you put me out, the butt of a sick joke, into
the ashtray as you come and go. Cause I forgot to service you and we
broke down, and you can't live with my mistakes.
(Bridge) So I assume false grace, open my arms, and grasp at something true.
(Chorus) How are you? How have you been? Girl I miss you, want to see you
again.
(Verse) I bring out the worst in you, and you try to let me know. You
bring out the wrost in me, anxiety, I'm trying to let you go. You say I'm
giving you the creeps. So I assume the role, open my claws and grasp for
your heart.
(Chorus) Into you, like a mortal stake, so vindictive, your love's
slipping away.
(Outro) Violins, violence, the butt of your sick joke. Into this ashtray
life. I'm trying hard to let you go.
Whew! That's all. I hope you like what you see. If you like what I've
done, or if you don't, or if you have a request or want to talk about one
of the best bands around, Lagwagon, drop me a line! Thanx
Luke
