lyrics

Someday you’ll thank me for this

I thought we had a deal to leave some
space between our broken hearts.
I tried to tell you time and distance
kill the flame of anger – you, and your mother as well.
And I avoided that old restaurant
that used to be our haunt,
and you show up here with junk mail
that you know I’ll never want -

CHORUS
And I’d been doing so well at the Heartbreak Hotel,
when you show up like this.
You never miss - when you feel like a kiss,
and you have to resist,
I know someday you’ll thank me for this.

Love and money both can burn a
hole in your back pocket.
At times like this we need to show
restraint, and find forgiveness – you, and your mother as well.
And she always tells the world
I wasn’t good enough for you.
When I laugh and roll my eyes
I’m terrified it might be true...

CHORUS

I don’t know how you can say those things.
You and me, we’ll never get our angel wings
til we drop this thing.

And you think the whole town’s interested
in you and your tattoo,
and i was laughing with my friend, but then
he said he’d seen it too.

CHORUS
