When you took me down,

our padded room,

searching for the old stuff,

finding only new.

You stood your ground,

looked like a saint on the fire

I gave up hope

brought down inside

You said that we were stuck here

with nothing left to hide

I stayed a while

you drew me in to the light

Oh, can't you see,

I do my best

to clean it up,

but you're making such a mess?

My life

ain't what it seems to be

Now you're here,

now we're alone,

but the shit keeps hanging on to us

everywhere we go

And thought I've tried

to stay away

I get caught

every time.

So close,

I couldn't live with you

here

All day, all night

Oh can't you see,

I do my best

to clean it up

but you're making such a mess?

This life

ain't what it seemed to be
