So Marigold, my love, you've had too much to drink 
And I need not remind you, our discount tickets for this sinking ship 
Take-backs and sweet regrets, that's all that we have left 
No one is looking out for anyone but number one

One to one, two to dance, we all get our sweet romance 
Though sour grapes will turn to wine its all just vinegar with time
And oh, I want to know, we all want to know 
How can anybody treat somebody so? 

She said it hurts too much
I said it will never hurt enough
No one will ever see these cuts
No one will ever call this bluff
But that's just the way that it goes 

And when he left us he said, "It's not so bad" 
That [bad word] he took everything we had 
And when I'm thinking back, I'm counting all the ways 
Nobody helped us so we dreamt of better days
And we sang: "Yeah that's just the way that it goes"

Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like
And we broke all our promises and baby that ain't right
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all
Take it back, take it back because you don't know what it's like 
to be on the receiving end of it all 

No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all [4x]

You beg and plead, but no one here can save you
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves? 

So Marigold, someday we'll have to write a script 
But I won't stop denying ashamed of all the selfish things we did 
Dropped out of every single friendship that you had 
They nearly loved you, but you never could have loved somebody back

Tell me of your sorrows; tell me everything from the start
I'd like to do my part to help a friend in need 
I said you [bad word] to me, but when you needed someone most, I wasn't there, 
I wasn't even...

She said it hurts too much
I said it will never hurt enough
No one will ever see these cuts
No one will ever call this bluff
But that's just the way that it goes 

And when he left us he said, "It's not so bad" 
That [bad word] he took everything we had 
And when I'm thinking back, I'm counting all the ways 
Nobody helped us so we dreamt of better days
And we sang: "Yeah that's just the way that it goes"

Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like
And we broke all our promises and baby that ain't right
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all
Take it back, take it back because you don't know what it's like 
to be on the receiving end of it all 

No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all [4x]

You beg and plead, but no one here can save you
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves? 

Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like
