[length: 03:29]
[00:14.33]Started out like it always starts
[00:17.46]Try to hold the hunger back
[00:20.13]You don’t anticipate a broken heart
[00:23.66]Can’t see nothing but the track
[00:27.10]A diamond earring in a Bowery bed
[00:30.41]You kicked your shoes across the floor
[00:33.50]You regret the things that went unsaid
[00:37.18]Or have you heard it all before?
[00:41.86]Eileen, you should’ve seen this coming sooner
[00:48.06]Do I mean to be alone for all my days?
[00:54.33]Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
[01:00.13]But that’s your way
[01:07.37]It ended like it always ends
[01:09.29]Somebody crying on the phone
[01:12.13]You tell each other you can still be friends
[01:15.93]You both know you’re on your own
[01:19.09]My own behavior was a shock to me
[01:22.18]I never thought I’d have the nerve
[01:25.41]I hope you’re sleeping through the night, Eileen
[01:29.01]I hope they’re grading on the curve
[01:33.73]Eileen, you should’ve seen this coming sooner
[01:40.46]Do I mean to be alone for all my days?
[01:46.61]Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
[01:52.18]But that’s your way
[01:55.93]That’s your way
[02:25.06]Somebody broke my heart once
[02:28.50]And I was useless for a week
[02:31.66]I didn’t leave my apartment
[02:35.46]I didn’t eat, I didn’t speak
[02:39.41]But then I found the letter she wrote
[02:41.58]Against the wall behind the bed
[02:45.22]It said, “Forever is a dead man’s joke”
[02:48.13]And that’s the only thing it said
[02:52.69]Eileen, you should’ve seen this coming sooner
[02:58.90]Do I mean to be alone for all my days?
[03:05.37]Eileen, you thought the truth was just a rumor
[03:10.97]But that’s your way
[03:14.61]That’s your way
