lyrics

I cut off your hands and feed them to the Goose
For all of the times you called women loose
After an evening of chasing her around and spitting on her chest

Take a picture of a moment lose
Of over sharing and of stained lip gloss
And ears that don't listen or deserve to hear the words
And sheets that wreck of last night's defeat

I hurt (but not for you)
I cry (but not for you)
I yearn (but not for you)
For her and for me too

So sick of hearing how I don't belong
Unworthy of love always in the wrong
I don't expect much but it hurts being kicked to the curb
You say your gonna love me
I don't believe you
I say your gonna leave me
I don't believe you

I hurt
But not for you
I cry
But not for you
I yearn
But not for you
For her and for me too

The sound of a great band finding their voice. I love these songs, they did some things that they probably wouldn't do now. Jack Kitzerow
