[00:00.00]Break the news, you're walking out
[00:03.10]To be a good man for someone else
[00:06.70]Sorry, I was never good like you
[00:13.20]Stood on my chest and kept me down
[00:16.00]Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
[00:19.80]Did my best to exist just for you
[00:25.10]
[00:25.10]Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[00:32.00]Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[00:38.20]Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
[00:45.26]Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[00:53.20]
[00:53.20]I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
[00:59.20]I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
[01:06.30]But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
[01:12.20]I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[01:19.84]
[01:19.84]I still feel you, now and then
[01:22.80]Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
[01:26.20]When you see me, will you say I've changed?
[01:32.50]I ride the subway, read the signs
[01:35.20]I let the seasons change my mind
[01:39.00]I love it here since I've stopped needing you
[01:45.20]
[01:45.20]Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[01:51.50]Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[01:58.20]Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
[02:04.70]Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
[02:12.80]
[02:12.80]I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
[02:18.40]I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
[02:26.10]But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
[02:31.70]I'll find a way to be without you, babe
[02:39.91]
[02:39.91](I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops)
[02:45.20](I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me)
[02:53.00](But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power)
[02:58.20](I'll find a way to be without you, babe)
