so this is how it ends
in separate beds
a wall between us

and this is how it dies
separate our lives
and hope it heals us

I chose the love of strangers
I chose the fickle crowd
and the woman I wagered
won't look at me right now
(not now)

I know I've been like a house cat
give me this, give me that
and I know I'll be okay

but beg for my attention
a word from my affection
I just stare and walk away

how can I show you
I'd do all I could do
to show you I adore you?
Olivia

and the days go by
in a supplicated style
hand me the anodynes

oh, Olivia
I still love you
and I know I will
'til I die

and this feels [bad word] madness
why this wasted [bad word] to me

the photographer is lucky
does he even know my name?
does he know I'd give it all up
if I only could be here?

but I used all my chances
(and a few after that)
now I'm floating in the ashes
Olivia

and the days go by
in a supplicated style
hand me the anodynes

oh, Olivia
I still love you
and I know I will
'til I die

and this feels [bad word] madness
why this wasted [bad word] to me
