So this is how it ends, in separate beds.
The wall between us.
And this is how it dies. Separate our lives.
And hope it heals us.
I chose the love of strangers.
I chose the fickle crowd.
And the woman I wagered,
Wont look at me right now, not now.
I know Ive been like a house cat. Give me this, give me that.
And I know Ill be okay.
But beg for my attention, or work for my affection.
I just stare and walk away.
How can I show you?
I do what I could do.
To show you I adore you, Olivia.
And the days go by.
In a supplicated style
Hand me the anodynes.
Oh, Olivia.
I still love you
And I know I will, till I die
And this feels like
Common madness.
Why this wasted life?
Come to me.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
The photographer is lucky.
Does he even know my name?
Does he know Id give it all up?
If I only could be him.
But I used all my chances,
And a few after that.
Now Im floating in the ashes, Olivia.
And the days go by.
In a supplicated style
Hand me the anodynes.
Oh, Olivia.
I still love you
And I know I will, till I die
And this feels like
Common madness.
Why this wasted life?
Come to me.
