I Am Trying To Break Your Heart - Lyrics by Wilco


Lyrics
I am an american aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm running out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you? Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt? I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take from the inside, lady gold on tight
You so right when you said I been drinking
What was I thinking when we said goodnight? I want to hold you in the bible-black pre-dawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me not
Take off your bandaid because I don't believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when we said hello? I always thought that if I held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep & the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in? I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
Used to be lying when I said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart
Disposable dixie cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm running out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
