Addition by subtraction, sometimes it's the only way. Once reduced to fractions some girls just can't stand to stay. Chop them up into a million pieces - watch them try to stay together. Wind them up and send them on their way forever. Division by omission is a plan that never fails.

I saw you in there. Do you even care? I don't know why I keep trying. It's like you want me to know because I can't let go; I'll act as if I don't know you're lying.
Everything's off by a few degrees now. A bitter aftertaste is in my mouth again and I can't pretend 'cause it's all affected

The bells are tolling now. I walk behind the crowd. True, I wish that you could be with me.
True, I miss the lips that once kissed me. Still the letters that I write over tea bring me close to you now - keep me happy when you're not around and I'm too wound up baby. The clock is striking on

Every night I wonder why I know what I need to do but I don't. And I try not calling you yet I still pick up the phone and I do. Does the new one look like me? Is the new one smart? Does the new one know you'll break his heart?
I get down; I get stuck there and I wish I couldn't care any le

What makes you think you've got the right to get me all worked up for you each night?
You've got my number and I don't know what to do 'cause I've been left here black and blue.
I guess you took me down a peg. Is this the part where I'm supposed to beg?

Well, when I'm in this st

I get shattered every time you leave and I'm left spinning all around. Happy Saturday - what's it matter if I'm all alone since you're not here to drag me down. When I'm left here to my own devices I struggle to get to my feet. I'm tired of all the surprises:
All roads lead to tragedy. Happ

In a bad place. In a sick frame of mind. In a bad way and you're no friend of mine. Started counting when she first saw the lightning flash. It's a sad thing, like a bitter little laugh. In a bad place she watched the sun rise again. It's a bad break but we all have our cross to bear.
That

Thirty days ago I was fine. Thirty days ago I had peace of mind. Something in me is out of synch;
I'm worried that I'm getting sick.
I've got my backup plan: I'll loosen up my grip and then I know in a few days I'll be okay.

Thirty days ago I was hurt.
Thirty days ago I was

Oh, Jeanette, you're acting up again. Will these little dramas never end? Oh, Jeanette, life is so unfair when you don't get your way and no-one cares. And by the way, that tone you claim I take? Just another in your long line of mistakes. Spitting your venom one minute and then shamelessly chan

I'm alright - oh, it took a little time but everything has come together since you left. i got sad and then i got a little fat but now i'm finally at my fighting weight again.
It's sure tough and some days i felt i'd had enough - i guess i really took it on the chin. but by gum, i knocked in

Silence now: I want it quiet now. I wanna feel the clock inside my brain start winding down. Don't you see I'm in a spaceship dream and the red light on your motorbike's a scream. When I get my bearings, soon it's always something new. Hating all the waiting for the day I won't remember you. The

Hey Jeanette: don't forget, when you hear that little voice in your head telling you what to do... It's okay, but don't wait; you'll be sorely disappointed if you mess it up this time too. It seems you're always finding reasons to ignore the voice of reason.
You don't drive an SUV or vote R

Remember when you said last year this had gone too far and you were gonna try to find a way to make it stick this time? Summer came and went. You couldn't make the rent. You figured I'll get by -
I always do some way, somehow then: One step forward, three steps back - another day has passed

Someone is singing a song far away as if they want everyone else joining in. But nobody sings here, we're tucked away safe inside our apartments. We wither away listening desperately for you. Summer's come and gone for you; it left you behind.
I stand in the city and I watch crowds and trai
