Another version of me
Is she preverted like me?

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
A B
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide. No,

and everytime you speak her name
A
does she know how you told me you'd hold me
B
until you died? `Til you died,
but you're still alive.
F# E
And I'm here to remind you
A B
of the mess you left when you went away.

It's not fair to deny me

of the cross I bare that you gave to me.

You, you, you oughta know.

I'm not quite as well.

Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity?

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner.

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced,

and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?
