And I

I tried to give you everything

I tried to make you feel the same

About me

And you

You'll have to pick yourself up now

Have to learn to live without

The things I do

Cause now I see you

Standing on your corner waiting for your lover

And I know it's true

That all that we were fighting for was

Only for your pleasure

Now you're out the door

Off to something better

Such a tragedy

You thought I only aimed to please

I'm sorry if I held you down

Made you feel like nothing

But it's over now so

Go off and be something

Far away from me

I'll just fall behind and be

Happy in my misery

And so

Building a house won't bring you home

Can't make you love what you don't know

And never could

Cause all that we were fighting for was

Only for your pleasure

Now you're out the door

Off to something better

Such a tragedy

You thought I only aimed to please

I'm sorry if I held you down

Made you feel like nothing

But it's over now so

Go off and be something

Far away from me

I'll just fall behind and be

Happy in my misery

Happy in my misery

Now I see you

Standing on your corner waiting for your lover

And I know it's true

That all that we were fighting for was

Only for your pleasure

Now you're out the door

Off to something better

Such a tragedy

You thought I only aimed to please

Ya you say I held you down

Hell now ain't that something

When I held you tight can't

Tell me that was nothing

But a fantasy

But fuck it I'll just learn to be

Happy in my misery

Happy in my misery

Happy in my misery
