lyrics

A stab in the back through a crack in the wall
that you left long ago when I was wrong
Now I'm right, and you're gone

Feeling like I'm so very special
I don't want to be special, I want to be done
Hallways to nowhere, so close but not there
Are you still mine?

Or are you out?

You're being vague, but that's okay,
I like my girls that vain
(He likes his girls that way, but they're all damn vain)
They usually stick around for a minute
They don't get up when they're already in it

Feeling like I'm so very special
I don't want to special, I want to be loved
Hallways to nowhere, so close but not there
Are you still mine?

Cyanide is better than loving you
The taste of all the could-have-beens
is not as sweet as what the future holds
In the heat of it all, do you crumple up,
or do you learn to crawl?

I wanted to be shot dead, and left at your front door
She said, "the biggest problem you'll ever encounter
is you can't stop going back for more"

You're pleading,
I'm feeling,
Not sorry for you,
Oh, you leave me

Feeling like I'm so very special
I don't want to be special, I want to be loved
Hallways to nowhere, so close but not there
Are you still mine?
