Breathing, seething, you don't believe
Thousands and millions
Can't see what I see

Empty feelings invent the past
Lonely and longing
These things don't last

That's how it goes
Her sadness shows
She says she knows why
Everyone goes away

Frigid, distant, prophecies sewn
Don't change your mind now
Your selfishness shows
Angry, rueful, our foolish pride
Finding replacements
Can't turn back the tide

That's how it goes
Her sadness shows
She says she knows why
Everyone goes away

Driving away the ones that you love
And breaking them in two
Living your life in a three car garage
That's built just for you

That's how it goes
Her sadness shows
She says she knows why
Everyone goes away

Breathing, seething, you don't believe
Family relations aren't what they seem
Empty feelings invent the past
Lonely and longing
These things don't last

That's how it goes
Her sadness shows
She says she knows why
Everyone goes away

That's how it goes
Her sadness shows
She says she knows why
Everyone goes away
