Always Mean It

i watch you run the gambit from here to pennsylvania
i watch you run yourself into the ground
i forgive you all your trespasses if you forgive me mine
and i'd leave you in the dust if you'd just give me some more time

but if you're willing to try so am i
if you're already gone it's okay
i just wish that you had said goodbye

women are cruel
and love is grotesque
but you've already lost all your self respect
so build up your ego and tear down your heart
'cause here's some advice i was told to impart

run don't walk
yell don't talk
don't try to understand
sit don't stand
hope don't hurt
always flirt
don't you get jaded
you jaded fuck
just take all your chances and
run away home with your love
always mean it
always mean it
always mean it

if you blame the boyfriend you're
a shame
if you buy the bullshit you're to blame
if you do the hard work you're a grunt
if you leave me hanging you a cu-
if you're willing to try so am i
if you're already gone it's okay
i just wish that you had said goodbye
i just wish that you had said goodbye
i just wish that you had said goodbye
