Painless

Hey I know you’re gonna go
Ain’t much surprise to me
One thing before you hit the road
One word before you leave
Every time it starts the same
Feels good to be around
But the web you spin disintegrates
As springtime leaves burn brown

Everyone knows
I don’t need the stare
You play the blues, but you really don’t care

Mind the door
Leave the rest
I won’t count score
That’s probably best
Calm your thoughts
You don’t have to confess
We can do this one of two ways
Let’s make it painless, painless

We’ve been down this way before
Didn’t have to hold your hand
Looking back makes you paranoid
Dig your hole in that quicksand
Like the rabbit told the fox
Can’t stand to take no lies
I’d never dreamed, who would have thought
You’d turn on those of mine

I wish you were
Who I thought you were
Wishing don’t get me anywhere from here

I’d almost laugh
I’d almost curse
I’d almost do anything to bring down the curtain on our career

Mind the door
I need some rest
I won’t count score
That’s probably best
Don’t open your mouth
You don’t have to confess
And we can do this one of two ways
Let’s keep it painless, painless, painless

Hey now you know my mind
Every word I’ve said is true
Don’t keep in touch, no ties that bind
Don’t say I write nothing for you
Don’t search for a metaphor
For you each line was breathed
And as you walk out that door
I hope it kicks your ass when you leave

Mind the door
Save your breath
Just like before
The last time you left
I won’t trouble my thoughts
This horse’s beat half to death
And we can do this one of two ways
Let’s keep it painless, painless, painless, painless
