Even a child's love needs to be proven? 

As he turns off the gas, and runs away from the truth 

He seals up the doors with the masking tape 

And he closes all the windows and makes sure they stay 

With his head in the oven he feels his feet near the floor 

Makes a crease on his chest he puts his knee on the door 

Is the propane within he's really not sure 

Still there's tears in his eyes and the stars on the shore 


And i say these things i will never do for you 

(even though i want to i want to i want to) 

Even though i want to i want to i want to 

(everything means nothing, you're screwed) 

A little light that shines indoors 

(and happy has been long enough to find) 

And happy has been long enough to find 


There's six fryars outside my front door 

She's in her underwear she lays his feet on the floor 

On the face is a smile now fallen half off 

She turned her head back around she started to cough 

She said i think i'm going to puke 

And i said i'm sorry i'm sorry is there something i can do 

She said i'm the one who's sorry i think i peed on your floor 

I said that's okay and then she puked some more 


And i say these things i'll never do for you 

(even though i screw up from time to time) 

Even though i screw up from time to time 

(why can't you understand i protest) 

The little light that shines in doors 

There's a little whiskey on my finger 


I toured the place where the body was found 

There were beer cans and candybar wrappers laying all over the ground 

Don't light that cigarette in here (face the door) 

I said i don't care i want to be someone 


And i say these things i'll never do for you 

(even though i screw up from time to time) 

Even though i screw up from time to time 

(why can't you understand i protest) 

Why can't you understand i protest
