By The Roxy Songtext
Thought I saw your mother
By the Roxy, and I ran for cover
Does she think of me a monster, I wonder?
Her son's former lover
Who let ‘em down
Since our last November
I've gone from the accomplice to the main offender
While that's only partly fair, whatever
If it suits you better
By the Roxy, and I ran for cover
Does she think of me a monster, I wonder?
Her son's former lover
Who let ‘em down
Since our last November
I've gone from the accomplice to the main offender
While that's only partly fair, whatever
If it suits you better
It can be true
[Chorus]
'Cause I lit the fuse
But you closed the door
And I've done most my grieving for
The life and kids I once thought I'd give to you
I know the world don't orbit around you
But I never pictured doing all of this without you
I know we’re better off, you’re better off, it's better off this way
You'll get your picket fence, and I'll be okay
(And I'll be okay)
(And I'll be okay)
(And I'll be okay)
(And I'll be okay)
(And I'll be okay)
[Chorus]
'Cause I lit the fuse
But you closed the door
And I've done most my grieving for
The life and kids I once thought I'd give to you
I know the world don't orbit around you
But I never pictured doing all of this without you
I know we’re better off, you’re better off, it's better off this way
You'll get your picket fence, and I'll be okay
(And I'll be okay)
(And I'll be okay)
(And I'll be okay)
(And I'll be okay)
(And I'll be okay)
