Can I let jealousy blind me today?
My oldest friend, and I blew her away
Just a few kind words, and all I could say
Was 'I've known you, what, 10 years and it feels like a day
And I watched her cry
Torn apart at the hands of a child
You cannot use arrogance as something to depend
Condemned all religion to a pitiless end
And a politician's resonance ran through my mind
Patriotic in one sense, in the other just blind
And I watched them cry
Torn apart at the hands of a child
I'll keep on going, I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it's boring to hear of another young you
What a typically shit thing to do
And I was so shallow to the one man who stuck around
Sunk so low that I nearly drowned
And I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around
Consoled him recklessly, I knew he was done
Oh, he all but died
Torn apart at the hands of a child
And I'll keep on going, I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it's boring to hear of another young you
What a typically shit thing to do
And I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like
And I have felt heartbreak now and I know that it hurts, right
I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like
The ground is to swallow you up and you know what it hurts, right
And I'll keep on going, I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it's boring to hear of another young you
What a typically shit thing to do
