Takes His Place
Says, â??Baby, I'm all sorts of sorry.â? Says, â??Babe, you know I'm all kinds of sad.â? Says, â??Maybe it was fun while it lasted.â? I say, â??Baby, I just wish that it had.â? Stands before me and his arms are folded Teeth clenched in a too-perfect face Turns to leave, an anonymous other Steps in line to take his foolish place Each lover's conversation â??I love youâ? â??No, I love you moreâ? A perfect imitation Of the one who came before Every lover tells a different story Every story always ends the same Every lover spins the same kind of sugar Only thing that changes is his name Every dream and childhood recollection Whispered to me in exactly the same way Don't ask me where it hurts, now I swear to God I couldn't say That which doesn't kill me strengthens me SongtexteRepeated end-to-endlessly If I'm so goddamned strong now How come I feel so lonely? He says lots of lovely fill-in-the-blank He so stresses that he's not like other men I sit back, he stands up And the cycle circles 'round again One follows right behind the other Line forms to the right and single-file Another break-up, another lover I haven't felt this old in a while Each loving lie is spoken How we mean it at the time Identical hearts are broken Another goes to the back of the line â??I love youâ? â??I love youâ? â??I love youâ? â??No, I love you moreâ? Each sentiment, each resident Just the same as the one who came before, yeah Tell me again until I feel something Tell me again until I feel something Tell me again until I feel something Tell me again until I feel something, yeah Cos I feel nothing now Aus Songtexte Mania
