Clockwork Lyrics

Disappointment Central Avenue

Apartment floors and routine conversation galore

Honesty come pave the way forward

Giving up on you, giving up on me

Like clockwork

The truth, it lies on a liar's tongue

Imploring you, like that's my job

To justify some reason why

You let me down, down, down

You played the game, but I've always said

I'd leave you either way

And I find I like us better this way

This way

You loved me like your private pity date

And I guess everybody loves a story

About the Naive and the Head Case

Honesty come light the way onward

Your love is torture

Giving up on you, giving up on me

Like clockwork, never ending

The truth, it lies on my lover's tongue

Imploring you, like that's my job

To justify some reason why

You let me down, down, down

Oh, I played my odds

But I've always thought

We were fucked right from the start

And I find I like us better somehow

I tolerated nonsense

And I wonder all for what

Let the anger show and the feelings go

I do it all for love

You chose yourself, I know you're selfish

I shouldn't have invested too much

I gave myself, a woman's best

So don't you dare wonder why I left

Disappointment Central Avenue

Apartment floors and routine conversation galore

Honesty come save me moving forward

Giving up on you, giving up on me

Like clockwork

The truth, it lies on a liar's tongue

Imploring you is not my job

And I've always known that somehow

You'd let me down, down, down

Oh, I played your game

But I've always said

I'd leave you either way

And I find I like us better this way
