You told me that you wanted to lose your virginity
on a heart-shaped bed
That didn’t happen. Are you sad?
Are you in love?
Do you still think about the days before we met
Before this all fell apart?
Before we were both alone?
I wanna know
Do you still think about the dreams?
Do you still think about the ghost?
Do you think the martyrs?
Do you think about the church?
Do you think about anything at all?
Can you hold a conversation?
Please let’s have a conversation
So please, tell me all about the first guy you ever kissed
Did he treat you right? Was he straight out of a fairy tale?
Was he what you expected? If you say yes
tell me what the hell happened?
How did we end up like this?
Was it nothing but a lie?
Was it all just a cruel joke?
Or was it something worse,
is there someone out to get you?
What if no one’s out to get you
and this is just the way things are?
This is the way things are and you’re alone
Tell me another story about your drunken father
and maybe someday soon I’ll tell you mine
and on the drive home you can tell me all about that doll
and why you never want to spend the night alone
Is there really nothing left?
Is this really all you’ve got?
You’re only 18 but you’re weighed down in a river – no way out
and I don’t think that anyone can save you
I wish I could save you,
you’re so thoughtful and I wish I was so thoughtful
I wish that I could do something more
than just write a shitty song about how things will never change
and your life sucks.
well honestly, my life sucks too.
and I know it’s hard to hear but this is all I can do
So let’s not mope about the past,
let’s not cling to stupid hope
Let’s not start a fight let’s care for something beautiful
Let’s make something beautiful and we can stay friends
after all of this falls apart the way I know that it will
You told me that you wanted to lose your virginity
on a heart-shaped bed
That didn’t happen. Are you sad?
