So Marigold, my love, you've had too much to drink,
|
And I need not remind you, our discount tickets for this sinking ship.
|
Take-backs and sweet regrets, that's all that we have left.
|
No one is looking out for anyone but number one.
|
One to one, two to dance, we all get our sweet romance,
|
Though sour grapes will turn to wine, it¡¯s all just vinegar with time,
|
And oh, you want to know, we all want to know,
|
How can anybody treat somebody so?
|
|
Chorus:
|
She said, ¡°It hurts too much,¡± I said, ¡°It will never hurt enough,¡±
|
No one will ever see these cuts, no one will ever call this bluff,
|
But that's just the way that it goes,
|
And when he left us he said, "It's not so bad.¡±
|
That motherfucker, he took everything we had,
|
And when I'm thinking back, I'm counting all the ways,
|
Nobody helped us, so we dreamt of better days,
|
And we sang, "That's just the way that it goes,"
|
Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like,
|
And we broke all our promises, and baby that ain't right
|
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all¡¦
|
(Take it back, take it back, because you don't know!
|
Take it back, take it back, because you don¡¯t know
|
what it's like to be on the receiving end of it all!)
|
No! No! You were not on the receiving end of it all!
|
No! No! You were not on the receiving end of it all!
|
No! No! You were not on the receiving end of it all!
|
No! No! You were not on the receiving end of it all!
|
You beg and plead, but no one here can save you -
|
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves?
|
|
So Marigold, someday we'll have to write a script,
|
But I won't stop denying ashamed of all the selfish things we did.
|
Dropped out of every single friendship that you had,
|
They nearly loved you, but you never could have loved somebody back.
|
Tell me of your sorrows, tell me everything from the start,
|
I'd like to do my part to help a friend in need -
|
I said you could come to me,
|
But when you needed someone most, I wasn't there, I wasn't even...
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Used to be in love, but now we're just in like,
|
And we broke all our promises, and baby that ain't right
|
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all¡¦
|
(Take it back, take it back, because you don't know!
|
Take it back, take it back, because you don¡¯t know
|
what it's like to be on the receiving end of it all!)
|
No! No! You were not on the receiving end of it all!
|
No! No! You were not on the receiving end of it all!
|
No! No! You were not on the receiving end of it all!
|
No! No! You were not on the receiving end of it all!
|
You beg and plead, but no one here can save you -
|
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves?
