Opportunity to Cry / Permanently Lonely (Live)
I just watched the sunrise on the other side of town
Once more I've waited and once more you've let me down
This would be a perfect time for me to die
I'd like to take this opportunity to cry
You gave your word now I return it to you
With this suggestion as to what you can do
Just exchange the words I love you for goodbye
While I take this opportunity to cry
I'd like to see you but I'm afraid
I don't know wrong from right
And if I saw you would I kiss you
I wanna kill you on sight
It's been a long night so I think I'll go home
And feed my nightmares they've been waiting all, all night long
They'll be the last ones to tell me goodbye
And they'll give me many opportunities to cry
Don't be concerned 'cause it's time I learned
That those who play with fire get burned
But I'll be alright in a little while
But you'll be permanently lonely
Don't be too quick to pity me
Don't salve my heart with sympathy
Because I'll be alright in a little while
Ah, but you'll be permanently lonely
The world looks on with wonder and pity at your kind
'Cause it knows that the future is not very pretty for your kind
For your kind will always be running and wondering
What's happened to hearts that you've broken and left all alone
But we'll be alright in a little while but you'll be permanently lonely
Running lonely
Once more I've waited and once more you've let me down
This would be a perfect time for me to die
I'd like to take this opportunity to cry
You gave your word now I return it to you
With this suggestion as to what you can do
Just exchange the words I love you for goodbye
While I take this opportunity to cry
I'd like to see you but I'm afraid
I don't know wrong from right
And if I saw you would I kiss you
I wanna kill you on sight
It's been a long night so I think I'll go home
And feed my nightmares they've been waiting all, all night long
They'll be the last ones to tell me goodbye
And they'll give me many opportunities to cry
Don't be concerned 'cause it's time I learned
That those who play with fire get burned
But I'll be alright in a little while
But you'll be permanently lonely
Don't be too quick to pity me
Don't salve my heart with sympathy
Because I'll be alright in a little while
Ah, but you'll be permanently lonely
The world looks on with wonder and pity at your kind
'Cause it knows that the future is not very pretty for your kind
For your kind will always be running and wondering
What's happened to hearts that you've broken and left all alone
But we'll be alright in a little while but you'll be permanently lonely
Running lonely
