lyrics

THROUGH ALL THESE YEARS, KEPT HIDDEN SAFELY FROM THE TRUTH BECAUSE ‘CUS YOU DIDN’T WANT TO SCARE ME; MAKING NO MISTAKE, YOU’D GONE AWAY WITH THE FAIRIES. TAKE YOUR CASH AND RUN, NOW YOU’VE GOT TO GO AWAY; LET YOUR GUILT ROT IN THE GUTTER DOWN THAT UNLIT ALLEY. YEAH, WE JUST NEVER KNEW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING, WITH ALL THE LIES ABOUT THE DRUGS AND THE DRINKING. IT SEEMS YOU NEVER SAW THE LIGHT, NEVER CAME IN FROM THE COLD; WELL I GUESS HARD HABITS DIE OLD. POSSESSED WITH NEVER-BLINKING EYES AND A RABID PARANOIA; YOU INDULGED YOURSELF FOR YEARS, SO CONVINCED WE NEVER SAW YOU ALL THE TIMES YOU CRIED, AND YOU THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD PAY. YEAH, YOU MUST HAVE THOUGHT THAT I WAS BORN YESTERDAY. YEAH, WE DIDN’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING, WE’D SEEN ENOUGH OF ALL THE DRUGS AND THE DRINKING. YOU DISAPPEARED ONE NIGHT, AND OFF YOU HEADED DOWN THE ROAD, WELL I GUESS HARD HABITS DIE OLD. AND NOT A SIGN, AND NOT ONE WORD; BIDE YOUR TIME AND MAKE YOUR PRODIGAL SON’S RETURN, SWEARING BLIND THAT THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE NOW. “SURE”, WE SAID, “YOU’RE BOUND TO FUCK IT SOMEHOW!” AS YOU CONFESS YOU WERE WRONG, AND WE WERE ALWAYS RIGHT, I NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D MAKE AN EFFORT TO SOUND CONTRITE, BUT ONCE AGAIN YOU WERE KIDDING US, KIDDING YOURSELF - OH, WHO WERE YOU KIDDING? AS THE YEARS WENT BY I SIMPLY HAD TO WONDER, WHY YOU WEREN’T ALREADY SIX FEET UNDER; I HEARD YOUR FINAL CALL FOR HELP, BUT ONCE AGAIN I WASN’T SOLD, ‘CUS AFTER ALL, HARD HABITS DIE OLD. WE JUST NEVER KNEW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING, WITH ALL THE LIES ABOUT THE DRUGS AND THE DRINKING. IT SEEMS YOU NEVER SAW THE LIGHT, NEVER CAME IN FROM THE COLD; WELL I GUESS HARD HABITS DIE OLD. AND I’D BE LYING IF I SAID I MISSED YOU; YOU WEREN’T ON MY MIND ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN ISSUE. YOU PLAYED A GAME YOU COULDN’T WIN, AND YOU FINALLY HAD TO FOLD; ‘CUS AFTER ALL, HARD HABITS DIE OLD. NOW THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO WONDER, NOW YOU’RE FINALLY SIX FEET UNDER.
