I still love you even though you're not here
maybe more than when you were
I don't need you but I'd like to have you near
so you could tell me why you had to go
you never told me why you had to go
It's not like in the movies, not like in the songs
you can smell and you can taste it
and there's no way to hit Pause
the tape is always rolling, maybe when we get to heaven
we'll spend all eternity editing this down
we've got all eternity to cut this out
Lives are made of stories and we're writing one another
I'll be your daughter if you will be my mother
teach me how to play the thing and then give me the blues
kick me out the house, but you paid for all my shoes
tell me to get lost, but let me find my shoes
It's not like in the magazines, not like in this song
the bruises aren't Maybelline, the blood is not ketchup
when you get hurt it hurts and when you die you die
and jokes are deadly serious, they're keeping me alive
these jokes are deadly serious, they're keeping me alive
