He taught me how to build a model
With as much as grace as when he went
He saved his lips for the bottle
And when he spoke, it wasn't what he meant
No, his words were never poetry
Crippled by antisocial insanity
All that he left to pass on to me
Was piss and vinegar, a head that's empty
Still they tell me my words are beautiful
But so are a handful of pills on your birthday
I tried so hard to be dutiful
But it seemed so much easier to give myself away
Cause i just wanted to be close to you
And learn about what makes a heart blue
I know you can do it too, it's true
You've got that something about you
You knew you were what i wanted
And so you came to my dorm for two whole weeks
Skipped so much class that i flaunted
About two hours spent candy flipping in the sheets
Toppling over the kitchen table
And all you could do was laugh
It seemed like some story tale fable
Until you went ahead and left
Oh off, off to new york city
What a shame, oh what a pity
Pity me, i feel shitty as can be
Look what you did to me
When you went off to that f*cking city
Cause i just wanted to be close to you
And learn about what makes a heart blue
I know you can do it too, it's true
You've got that something about you
Oh off, off the ladder dear
We become just what we fear
Pity me, i don't know how i got here
But i look more like you with each passing year
