Forever, Forever I Am Done With Woe

You always make these promises as though you intend to keep them
Whisper sideways nothings as though you really mean them
You left me in the fire, kid
Just thought you'd wanna know
But darling, forever, forever I'm done with woe

I see your name in the concrete of the sidewalk's impotent stare
I'm clutching times and places that were never really there
Remember back in April when I begged you not to go?
But darling, forever, forever I'm done with woe

But you know me
And every time I swear it is the final time
You see me crawling back again
But if it's all the same to you
I swear it is the final time
Oh God, just let me walk away

So I've been reading my history
This is how it's going to be:
That hour you spend in destruction trumps the other 23
And sweetness, I'm yours eternally
'Til the second that you go
Then darling, forever, forever I'm done with woe

And when we're in the Inferno, I hope that you're bound to me
We'll be the eighth or ninth circle by my theology
I know it sounds vitriolic, but I wanted you to know
That darling, forever, forever I'm done with woe
