Fishes

Cold and shivering; but I’m hot as hell

Alone and wondering; I’m under her spell

I don’t like the emptiness, I don’t like the dark

All my matches got soaked, can’t even get a spark

Don’t you try and tell me about the fishes in the sea

I’ve seen them swimming around and they’re not for me

Don’t you try to get me to say I’ll be better off now

I’ve been down the road but I’ve forgotten how

Somebody pull the trigger; blow my heart around the room

But don’t let them bury me, don’t put me in a tomb

Living without a heart, I think my life would improve

I think I can still rock on in my own groove

I’ve been here before, played this role and I know this part

Doesn’t seem to be an end, can’t remember where to start

You just act like nothings wrong, go about your merry way

It’s all the same bullshit only on a different day

Don’t you try and tell me about the fishes in the sea

I’ve seen them swimming around and they’re not for me

Don’t you try to get me to say I’ll be better off now

I’ve been down the road but I’ve forgotten how

She will go her way, maybe never call my name

Anything I’d say well it would be so lame

So I’ll just zip my lip and pretend not to care

As if I never really needed her there

And another hand will rub my shoulder

Sunsets will pass and I’ll get older

Always in the back of my mind, hidden in the pile

The memory of that woman and her pretty smile
