the neighbours thought they'd seen it all last night
but i'm just glad that it's all over now
and nobody really knows anything
and you threw me out of your bedroom once again
for being too drunk to sleep with you
you said i was no use to anyone

and i know that this is not the answer
i know that this is not the answer
i know that this is not the answer
but i do it anyway

we had it all and we threw it all away
and now i wish we had it all again
but i guess that no use to anyone
and all the boys you say you used to know
come back to haunt you now that you're alone
sometimes you think it's what you need

and we can pretend that it's not dying
we can pretend that it's not dying
but it's dying anyway

and if i get drunk then i won't have to sleep with you
and we can pretend for a little while
that everything has stayed the same
and if you get drunk it might work for a little while
but everything is not the same
no matter what we say

and we can pretend that it's not dying
we can pretend that it's not dying
we can pretend that it's not dying
but it's dying anyway

and all the boys you say you used to know
come back to haunt you now that you're alone
you think it's what you need
and all the boys you say you used to know
come back to haunt you now that you're alone
sometimes you think it's what you need
