Checkmarks

So there you are
And here I stand
As far as I remember
You weren't half bad

Your bedroom behavior
Was never more
Than checkmarks on bedposts
The more I remember
We never had

You get me out of the rain
You get me out of my clothes
You hope I don't make a sound
You hope that nobody knows
You get me out of the rain
You get me out of my clothes
You hope I don't make a sound
You hope that no one...

So suck your so-called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths (x2)

So don't explain
'Cause I know exactly
What you're going to say
Big words, recycled phrases
And the bittersweet taste
Of other boys on your lips

So now just sit here
And talk about how you wanted it all
Now just sit here
And talk about how you wanted it all

You get me out of the rain
You get me out of my clothes
You hope I don't make a sound
You hope that nobody knows

So suck your so-called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths (x2)

Do you miss looking up from the floor
At my face on a stage in a crowded room?
Well, it's not the same
I bet you're still a sucker
For those famous faces
Downtown, looking down, down
Looking over the crowd
I hope you're out there
Look at me now
Well, it's not the same
Just look at how we've changed

So suck your so-called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths (x2)
