lyrics

If you go
I think you should know
You're closing a door
Behind you
And if we meet again
Try not to pretend
We lost anything
Of value

My generosity
Generosity
Is fading fast
For you, baby
Don't wanna hear 'bout tomorrow
My curiosity
Curiosity
Is not gonna be
The undoing of me
I'll carry my own tiny sorrow

Like the hawk
That yearns to lock
His claws into every
Sparrow
You're the one
That loves to run
The needle through the bone
To the marrow

Twenty lovers in a week
You can get 'em
Sure you can
There's lot's of geeks
And every mother one of them
Wants to get lucky
Or maybe you need
More than one man
Probably a legion
Every one a fan
I'm trying to find it in me
To hope you're happy

So when you go
I feel you oughta know
You're closing a door
Behind you
And when we meet again
Promise not to pretend
We lost anything
Of value
