Har-Har

I thought we'd be fine 
Since you stayed on that plane afterall 
Didn't think you'd go through it 
I expected you to turn back around without a try 
But now when you call me while we're miles apart 
And you cry on the line 
Like you miss me 
And you cry on the line 
Like things have changed 
Your brown eyes; they still roll back 
I can tell from your slurs 

The only man who's ever done what I have 
Is the only man I've brought to tears 
Is the only man I miss at night 
Is the only man I've ever left 
Is the only man I don't regret 
When you say you've felt the same 
I don't believe it from your so-called attempts 

"What you do to yourself isn't right 
Change is not a thing we know" 
When the sun goes down I wonder how someone like you 
Can mellow so easily into slumber 
How can I love such a mindless monster 
Keep saying, "Four years down the drain" 
It only digs you deeper, baby 
When you stick that needle in your vain tonight 
Remember that's why I'm gone 
Remember that's why you're there
