She used to love me but it's over now
That was a good thing that's gone, man, gone
I pass the hours just kicking by
Talk to the dog so I don't head on the life

I never thought that I should quit
All this stupid crazy shit that I do
In the name of keeping good things away

Some things you can fuck right up
Other things, well, you better not screw up
My problem was that I could not see
What was important right in front of me

I never thought that I should quit
All the stupid crazy shit that I do
In the name of keeping good things away

How much longer, man, for this earth
It seemed a day but it's gone, man, gone
The epitaph scratched upon my stone
Here lies this man who just wanted to be alone

She used to love me but it's over now
That was a good thing that's gone, man, gone
I take small comfort in a dying world
I'm not the only one who's feeling this pain
