 Here it is again  yet it
 stings  like the first  time
 Seems it  never ends  double
 nickels  on your  dime
 I thought  we were friends
 I guess it  just
 depends  who you ask
These feelings  tend to leave
me  with a hole  in my chest
 ohh  the hole in  my chest
yeah ohh  the hole  in my chest
 Now the time  has come  I
 just wish I  could erase
 All the damage done  to
 your name and  your keepsake
 It's Only just  begun  it's been
 fun we  were blind  deaf and dumb
There's  a party  in my
 closet  calling all  skeletons  oh
 ske-he-he-he  all skeletons
 calling all  oh oh oh
 Where did you go  once
 the lights  when black?
 Look what's become of me
 I've grown to love
 your disappearing  acts
 Do one  more pretty please
 Post chorus: -------
 Now the  time has come  I
 just wish I  could erase
 All the  damage done  all
 this pain all  this heartache
 Only  just begun  it's been fun
 we were fucked  up and numb
There's  a killer  on the
 corner  and he's
looking  for love
 ohh ho ho  looking
 for love
 yeah he's looking  for
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
 And to tell you the truth
 I lost my faith in you
 you gotta stop speaking
off  on me  And these
 unspoken lies
 appear at the worst times
 you gotta stop speaking
off  on me
 They're hiding just
 behind your eyes
 Em-C-G-D-Em-C-G-D-C--
 Where did  you go  once
 the lights  when black?
 Look what's become of me
 I've grown to love
 your disappearing  acts
 Do one  more pretty please
 Where did you go  once
 the lights  when black?
 You nearly gave us
 a heart  attack
 We thought you
 might swim out  to sea
 You gotta stop
 sneaking off  on me
 You gotta stop
 sneaking off  on me
