Fade out like a photograph 
 Just a memory to forget 
 You burn black like a cigarette 
 I'll discard you when I'm done 

 You break down when you need the rest 
 What a selfish way to drown 
 Then lay down with the thief you met 
 And enjoy the pride you've won 

 So let loose those tears, darling 
 Cause I'll turn my back 

 So tell me the story 
 How you lose this all I'm guessin' 
 But don't tell me you're sorry 
 I'm through with it all 
 And I won't be back again 

 I'm burnt out on your etiquette 
 How you caponize the son 
 Then lie down with another one 
 As you canonize yourself 

 So let loose those tears, darling 
 Cause I'll turn my back 

 So tell me the story 
 How you lose this all I'm guessin' 
 But don't tell me you're sorry 
 I'm through with it all 
 And I won't be back again 

 You're breaking all [bad word] 
 And killing all my self-esteem that's left 
 You take me for a fool 
 You're killing all my self-esteem that's left 

 So tell me the story 
 How you lose this all I'm guessin' 
 You're looking so worried 
 Can you feel [bad word] undone? 
 Such a pitiful story 
 But I finally learned my lesson 
 Don't tell me you're sorry 
 I am through with it all 
 And I won't be back again
