Doomed Love Affair

Living like a crook in parking lots

Trying to get my thoughts into jars

Labeled A through Z

for a systematic analysis

And we are two vagrants

on a train through the midwest

And I'm connected to you

By tendons, bones, and veins

What a mess

It's getting colder now

and your soft red sweater

calls my name out loud

It's not over 'til it's over

and I can't go through with it

You never knew

for the longest time

you were on my mind

And I'm finally through

wasting all your time

God it's been rough these past few weeks

My room is a mess and the ceiling leaks

I shouldn't have dragged you into this

Doomed love affair

Fluorescent shopping malls at night

and I missed your 3AM phone calls

Since you left I left broken glass

on the floor and I cut myself

And blood just knows

how to get through

the veins to the heart

And so it goes

It all seemed preordained

from the start

Life disappears in the wind like smoke

My room is a mess and the mirror broke

I shouldn't have dragged you into this

Doomed love affair
