I'm Not Myself Today Lyrics

In between our breakup

And our reunion

I sold the castle

Draw your own conclusions

Moved to the city

To shake off your ghost

I never felt so alone

Here in this room

Shelved with books never read

My tinder for fury

While smoking in bed

It was the one vice

You could't absolve

Does this heartache

Make me look fat

Oh, I'm not myself today

I'm more like you today

I'm not myself today

Remember the evening

You said you were leaving

Coat slung on your arm

And that look on your face

Swore you would die

Versus breathing my air

Look who's caught their second wind

Three cheers to your Easter

Please pour me a highball

With bourbon

(And bon mots)

See the writing on the wall

The new me's the old me

Disguised as a trope

Now where is that remote

Oh, I'm not myself today

I'm more like you today

I'm not myself today

Each cure has its defects

From toes up to the neck

I'm yours in a basket

Come fly me to hell

Your father, your martyr

My motley behavior

Oh, ain't love grand

Let's tear from this city

We'll recall our youth:

The skin on our necks

Was a firm as the truth

I'll find the strength

And the will to be kind

I guess that's the best I can do

Oh, I'm not myself today

I'm more like you today

I'm not myself today

Oh, I'm not myself today

I'm more like you today

I'm not myself today
