Everybody's talking like they're all for sale I was right behind you and you lost my tail Oh there goes my baby Finally time to leave Hiding what's gone When you go numb Everyone's gonna see So whenever you're free Of the reasons why Baby don't worry I'll hurry up and die I would my mind is like a new white wall I don't think about you Hardly not at all Not that I think you love me Never even thought you'd try Everyone's Gone They all took some Everybody leaves you dry Keep it inside Baby don't worry I really don't mind When you get done Out in that sun Everybody sees you cry So when you fall back and you can't get through Baby don't worry You're gonna die too Baby don't worry I'll hurry up and die
