I'm going to dress up tonight

I'll look real fretty for i don't know who

I'll find my own way around this great big city

And I'll sit at a bar and have a drink



I'll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings

I know you like to visit them from time to time

Like a theif I steal the words you write to her

I take them to my heart and I wish that they were mine



This is nothing new

But it ain't nothing new



You long for sweetness

Does mine make you sickly

Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require

There's nothing sweet about a heart so embittered

It;s ugly and it's cold and tonight it's out for hire



This is nothing new

But it ain't nothing her



We live through this day after day

Complacency's a curse

But you just can't escape it

I've arrived at a place where my tolerance gave way

And i struggle to hold my head up high
