about

This track was my bitter submission to the project and it was also included on 'Rainingbow' a year later.

lyrics

"What do you have to say that's so important? What can you say?"

Now's not the time to lie to you; I've done enough of that for the both of us in the last two years.
And i think its fair if i came clean through a song you and your drunk friends could dance to.

"Because, i don't ahve to. I don't have to talk to you about this."

And i just got off the phone with you and this bitter taste in my mouth is just my own medicine that i have been feeding you all this time.
But i'll be bitter regardless of who the next guy is...

..whoever he is, i pray he trips over a cliff!

So i'll admit i was told by some that i never played this game exactly by the houses rules.
And on top of that not every love song that i wrote was completely based around just me and you...

Duh.

It wasn't the distance, it was the people.

But in a few weeks time you'll be sipping drinks on the beach with wide eyed high school boys who've been waiting for this day for years.
And you'll justify your intoxication and pot smoking by the truth you have been longing to hear from me...

So open your ears and listen carefully:
I've told you everything - what more do you want from me?

So when you wake up next to your rebound man, i hope hungover guilt kicks into the highest gear.
And after you get dressed and decide that you're parched, I hope you walk to the sink and pour yourself out a nice tall glass of mexican water and miles away i will still laugh while you hug the toilet and get everything i "seem" to deserve.

but i wasn't the one who gave up!
