Unsmashed Pumpkins

37 3 2
                                    


(Chorus)
You don't read my words anymore
But God, I wish you saw what I've said
I don't know why I'm hanging on to what's dead
You don't read my words anymore
You cling to your new lover like morning dew
I just wish you'd call out my name like you used to

(Verse 1)
Relaxation and alternates
Coming and going, still faltering
But if you can't still love, don't go down the alter
Black chokers choking, our shirts are soaking
You touch everyone, but you're always joking
Though you confuse me, your smell's still the one I'll be smoking

(Pre-chorus)
If I'm not important enough
Then just let me go
I'll still be tripping over your shoelaces
This I know

(Chorus)
You don't read my words anymore
But God, I wish you saw what I've said
I don't know why I'm hanging on to what's dead
You don't read my words anymore
You cling to your new lover like morning dew
I just wish you'd call out my name like you used to

(Verse 1)
Things between us have changed
I'm becoming deranged
You've thrown everyone out like garbage or spare change
Trying to say hello, but just swaying to and fro
I could never hate you, oh no no
You are wanted, please don't permanently go

(Pre-chorus)
If I'm not important enough
Then just let me go
I'll still be tripping over your shoelaces
This I know

(Chorus)
You don't read my words anymore
But God, I wish you saw what I've said
I don't know why I'm hanging on to what's dead
You don't read my words anymore
You cling to your new lover like morning dew
I just wish you'd call out my name like you used to
