Drawing a collective breath
  I could cry myself to death
  and wash this all away
  In a flash you were gone
  leaving me a couple of songs
  that I listen to everyday
  
  And I don't even care
  that you were so unfair
  I worshipped one time at your feet
  Save up our tears
  Catalogue all our fears
  Give into the stretching years
  
  Your words hit me just last night
  when I saw it with the after sight
  what was on your mind
  Too late to ever change
  things go a little bit strange
  you were too far behind
  
  And the reasons I have to live
  Are the reasons that you would give
  to throw it all away
  Save and freeze up our tears
  Catalogue all our fears
  Give into the stretching years
  But that's OK
  
  And I can't understand
  why you folded with a winning hand
  and decided to throw the bet
  I just can't believe you'd leave
  with an ace sticking up your sleeve
  you could have paid off your debts
  
  And I don't even care
  that you were so unfair
  I worshipped one time at your feet
  Never heard what was said
  All nerve ends are dead
  Tinitus ringing in my head
  
  Save and freeze up our tears
  Catalogue all our fears
  Give into the stretching years
  Drown in my tears
  Succumb to my fears
  Give into the stretching years
  but that's O.K.
  I'm not O.K.
  but that's O.K.
