The Receiving End of It All Streetlight Manifesto

[Verse 1]
So Marigold, my love, you've had too much to drink
And I need not remind you, our discount tickets for this sinking ship
Take-backs and sweet regrets, that's all that we have left
No one is looking out for anyone but number one

One to one, two to dance, we all get our sweet romance
Though sour grapes will turn to wine, it’s all just vinegar with time
And oh, you want to know, we all want to know
How can anybody treat somebody so?

[Chorus]
She said, “It hurts too much,” I said, “It will never hurt enough,”
No one will ever see these cuts
No one will ever call this bluff
But that's just the way that it goes

And when he left us he said, "It's not so bad"
That motherfucker, he took everything we had
And when I'm thinking back, I'm counting all the ways
Nobody helped us, so we dreamt of better days
And we sang, "That's just the way that it goes"

[Hook]
Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like
And we broke all our promises, and baby that ain't right
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all…
