Fade out like a photograph, just a memory to forget You burn black like a cigarette, I'll discard you when I'm done You break down when you need the rest, what a selfish way to drown Then lay down with the thief you met, and enjoy the pride you've won So let loose those tears, darling, cause I'll turn my back So tell me the story, how you lose this all I'm guessing But don't tell me you're sorry, I am through with it all, and I won't be back again I'm burnt out on your etiquette, how you caponize the sun Then lay down with another one, as you canonize yourself So let loose those tears, darling, cause I'll turn my back So tell me the story, how you lose this all I'm guessing But don't tell me you're sorry, I am through with it all, and I won't be back again You're breaking all the rules, and killing all my self esteem that's left You take me for a fool, you're killing all my self esteem that's left So tell me the story, how you lose this all I'm guessing You're looking so worried, can you feel it come undone Such a pitiful story, but I finally learned my lesson But don't tell me you're sorry, I am through with it all, and I won't be back again
