No one should ever feel the way that I feel now
A walking open wound, a trophy display of bruises
And I don't believe that I'm getting any better, any better
Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
And I'm thinking awful things
And pretty sure that few would notice
And htis appartment is starving for an argument
Anything at all to break the silence
Wandering this house like I've never wanted out
And this is about as social as I get now
And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you
'Cause they would never do, I would never do, never
So don't be a liar
Don't say that, "everything's working," when everything's broken
And you smile like a saint but you curse like a sailor
And your eyes say the jokes on me
The martyr in meaningless, the campaign has died
In the planning stages and the fallen faces
Are the singular proof that is was ever alive
This purchased rebellion has been outbidded
Denounced and rescined and left to die
Championless, championless, championless
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Hope has sprung the perfect dive, a perfect day, a perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat
This purchased rebellion has been outbidded and left to die
Championless, championless, championless
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your voctiory, hollow and alone
To boast your bitter bragging rights
To anyone who'll listen while you're left with nothing tangible to gain
I hope that you're happy, you really deserve it
This will be best for us both in the end
But the taste that lingers on my lips
Like I've just place them upon your's and I starve for you
But this new diet's liquid and dulling to the senses
And it's crude, but it will do
Which of the standard lines will we use?
I've been meaning to call you, I've just been so busy
We'll catch up soon, let's make a point to
