text: Break the news—youre walking out
  To be a good man for someone else
  Sorry I was never good like you
  Stood on my chest and kept me down
  Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
  Did my best to exist just for you
  Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
  Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
  Now shes gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
  Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
  I am my mothers child, Ill love you til my breathing stops
  Ill love you til you call the cops on me
  But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
  Ill find a way to be without you, babe
  I still feel you, now and then
  Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
  When you see me, will you say Ive changed?
  I ride the subway, read the signs
  I let the seasons change my mind
  I love it here since I’ve stopped needing you
  Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
  Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
  Now shes gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
  Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
  I am my mothers child, Ill love you til my breathing stops
  Ill love you til you call the cops on me
  But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
  Ill find a way to be without you, babe
  I am my mothers child, Ill love you til my breathing stops
  Ill love you til you call the cops on me
  But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
  Ill find a way to be without you, babe
