please excuse me while I
crumple to the floor
I didn’t realize that I
couldn’t ask for more
and the rap sheet says I
should be relieved
still I never thought I
could be so deceived
and I never wanted more
than everything
no I never wanted more
than everything from you
please excuse me while I
crumple to the ground
I must’ve been too blind to
see what I’d found
and my own sheet shows my
ingenuous bliss
still I never thought I
could feel a death like this
and I never wanted more
than everything
no I never wanted more
than everything from you
and I just thought you needed time
I didn’t think you would go back, and repeat the crime, oh
oh I never wanted more
than everything
no I never wanted more
than everything from you
no I never wanted more
than everything
now I can’t yearn for, can’t wish for
can’t hope for anything, anything from you
