You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take
You take the very best of me
So I start a fight
'Cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want
'Cause I'm not what you wanted
Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away
Ain't no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
You put up walls and paint them
All a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you
And wished them all away
And you come away
With a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer
With the nerve to adore you
Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
So just walk away
Ain't no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
You never did give a damn thing, honey
But I cried, cried for you
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody
If I died, died for you
Died for you
Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Oh
Every smile you fake is so condescending
Counted all the scars you made
Now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
