Thought you'd be looking for the next in line to love
Then ignore, put out, and put away
And so you'd soon be leaving me alone like I'm supposed to be
Tonight tomorrow and every day
There's nothing here that you'll miss
I can guarantee you this is a cloud of smoke
Trying to occupy space
What a fucking joke, what a fucking joke.
I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
and take me off far away from you
Cus my feelings never change a bit, I always feel like shit
I don't know why, I guess that I just do
You once talked to me about love
You painted pictures of, a never never land
I could've gone to that place,
But I didn't understand, I didn't understand, I didn't understand
I hope that helped. The rhythm can get kind of tricky, and I tried to place the letters
the chords as close to the words they hit on as possible.
