more than that
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 10.10,16,22.0
please don't shoot me down just yet/
i haven't even gotten off the ground that high/
i wish that we could both just forget about it/
but i can't take back what i've already let fly//
i could say i love you if it wouldn't mean a thing/
i could toss off words like dishes in our sink/
if you would listen, or wash them, or do anything/
i feel as dirty like the dishwater that they soak in//
don't leave me hanging like a tie around your neck,
bouncing like your post-dated checks,
cause i'm worth more than that./ // /
apathy was enough for me but you took it one step further/
i mean to imply that your indifference was murder/
and how much should it have to take to make you hurt/
words couldn't hit that hard even if you heard them//
don't leave me hanging like a tie around your neck,
bouncing like your post-dated checks,
cause i'm worth more than that./ // /
wasn't it good enough for you to make me feel stupid/
or did you think that i would dish it out just like you did/
it's not a fair fight when you're armed but i'm just cupid/
your sticks and stones break me and my arrows are just useless//
don't leave me hanging like a tie around your neck,
bouncing like your post-dated checks,
cause i'm worth more than that./
don't leave me hanging like a tie around your neck,
discarded like your empty packs of stale cigarettes,
cause i'm worth more than that./ // /
