Sitting in a booth with plastic seats
wasn't where I pictured us to be
but I know what you brought me here to do
so I will do my best to act surprised
if you would kindly turn away your eyes
when you say I'm dispensable to you
Just don't make it complicated
simply come out and say it, tell me how
Chorus:
Tell me how it never felt to hold me
take away the words you once told me
go on go on tell me now
it's unavoidable
Tell me how I never left you trembling
tell me where is that happy ending
go on go on tell me now
it's unavoidable
I should've known that I'd be sitting here
soon as all the mystery disappeared
'cuz I have seen that empty look before
after some computed length of time
you'll stand up and move to say goodbye
and leave us nicely wrapped up at the door
I won't make it complicated
I'll just come out and say it, tell me how
Chorus:
Tell me how it never felt to hold me
take away the words you once told me
go on go on tell me now
it's unavoidable
Tell me how I never left you trembling
tell me where is that happy ending
go on go on tell me now
it's unavoidable
When it comes to getting dumped, I like the experience to be as clean-cut and streamlined as possible. I've never heard a good substitute for the truth, and as hard as it is to swallow, it's better taken in one quick dose. After all, only the one doing the dumping thinks it comes as a surprise. An anthem for the carelessly shoved asides, here's to all the lame excuses out there parading as selfless acts of integrity. Let the flags of justice fly.
