The cold night wasn't trouble enough for him
Another swallow never seemed like enough for him
They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this

He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
What goes [bad word] back around twice as fast
He's got no hope for a cure so he'll put himself to sleep, oh

Now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react

So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the [bad word] on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the [bad word] on and let me hear it, go on
Go ahead and tell your story

She always hoped for him to take her word for word
Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure
She's got her eyes on the time
But there's no use waiting there for him

But she's not in the world alone
But she wanted to put herself to sleep

So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the [bad word] on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the [bad word] on and let me hear it
Go on, go ahead and tell your stories, your stories, oh

Now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react

So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the [bad word] on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the [bad word] on and let me hear it

Tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the [bad word] on and let me hear
You got to speak, oh, and use up all the time you're given
It's time [bad word] on, go ahead and tell your story
