lyrics

You, are looking better every day
Ever since you went away and left me crying here
with nothing left to say

And I, I'm just trying to fill my time
'til you walk by just to remind me you once loved me
Your smile repeats the crime

Despite your cool indifference
You get a kick from running me through
You'd think that you'd find better things to do

Me, I just tried to close my eyes
when you bring a new one by and try to bait me
or just to see me cry

Does he, know just what he's found
One kiss will spin him 'round to try to see you
Will he like what he's found

Despite your protestations
A twisted knife just seems to suit you
You'd think that you'd find better things to you

It becomes apparent to me
(You should have known it from the start)
You won't be satisfied 'til I'm back on my knees

And me, I just try to live each day
and stay out of your way and not reminded
of bygone, better days

Despite your cool indifference
You get a kick from running me through
You'd think that you'd find better things to do
