(앨범: Upright, Love - 2012)

They say that sleepless nights can teach you
How to be alone
They say that
Dawn's eventually worth staying up for
They say appetite returns
And you stop aching in your bones
They say you learn to laugh again
Like you laughed before
Oh, and conventional wisdom holds
Out of sight and out of mind
And that which does not kill us makes us strong
But conventional wisdom fails me
So does most of mankind
You see, they have short attention spans
And mine's unfortunately long

You see, the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt while it lasted
Now I
I can't seem
To move past it

Yeah, baby, I'm the eighth world wonder
The eighth continent
The eighth deadly sin
And day of the goddamn week
The eighth Harry Potter book
And the eighth big wide wide blue blue ocean
You're in a world of seven
I'm the greatest eight
You never thought you'd see
And baby, you?

The only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt while it lasted
I said the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt
How good it felt
I said the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt while it lasted
Now I
I can't seem
To move past it

I keep
I keep waiting
Waiting to stop feeling wrong
Waiting to start being strong
Waiting to like you again
Waiting, but I can't pretend
I hope she
Slips and trips and
Snips her Achilles
Hope she
Chokes on your jokes
And you plant her her lilies
I hope you
Fail at sailing on a tidal wave
Or get swirled into a whirlpool
And can't be saved
I hope you
Succumb constantly to the common cold
I hope you
I hope you realize you're getting old
I hope you're lonely at night
Every time you breathe in
This is what it feels like
To miss my skin
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

Heartbreak makes you stronger
And strength can make you great
They say that scabs eventually
Heal from your knees
Mm, but the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt while it lasted, babe
And when it comes to heartbreak, babe, I
I beg to differ, please

The only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt while it lasted
I said the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt
How good it felt
I said the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt while it lasted, babe
I said the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt
How good it felt

I said the only good thing about loving you
I said the only good thing about loving you
Oh, how good
How
I said the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt while it lasted
Now I
I can't seem
To move past it
