Avoid The News Lyrics

Something tells me you'll forget what I was saying

Before I finish saying it

Someone tells me you hold a grudge

And I laugh 'cause that I'm outliving this

Now I see your name

In my books

In my poetry

I can't escape anything that never wanted me

I get pissed off

By the books

By the bedside

Avoid the news, brush my teeth, never close my eyes

Listen to you tell me I'm never listening

You make it clear that I better fucking hear this

Turn it off, scrape the plaque, try and get some sleep

When did you realize you didn't love me?

Drive past my friends' old houses

And think about the shape of the outside of yours

When you told me you cut 'em off easily

As we lie with our backs to your floor

Now I see your name

In my books

In my poetry

I can't escape anything that never wanted me

I get pissed off

By the books

By the beside

Avoid the news, brush my teeth, never close my eyes

Listen to you tell me I'm never listening

You make it clear that I better fucking hear this

Turn it off, scrape the plaque, try and get some sleep

When did you realize you didn't love me?

Now I see your name

In my books

In my poetry

I can't escape anything that never wanted me

I get pissed off

By the books

By the beside

Avoid the news, brush my teeth, never close my eyes

Listen to you tell me I'm never listening

You make it clear that I better fucking hear this

Turn it off, scrape the plaque, try and get some sleep

When did you realize you couldn't love me?
