Looking back at all the times we had, I wish I could tell ya' that they weren't all so bad.
But in the end we were just wasting our time,
Yeah I knew what you were but I was out of my mind.
Lost my mind...

I knew you were common when we started this thing,
So very common with you're everyday dreams.
But I was desperate for a heart of gold,
So I took a chance and I came in from the cold.
Life's so cold...

I oughta' have my fucking head examined for screwing with a skank like you.
But it wasn't like I really felt for you, I was just cold and empty through and through...

I thought you were something but you proved me wrong.
Money is your only god, what a tired boring old song.
Just another coward out to sell your soul but it just goes to show that
Nothing in this world is forever.
And people are all the same.
And there's no such thing as love.
It left me choking like a candle in the cold hard rain.

You were so common, you were so cheap,
Another coke snortin' slut from the barroom scene.
But brother, I was so empty, I was so blind,
I turned my back on the truth before my very eyes.

'cause sister, you could have been anybody.
You could have been anyone.
All I needed was anybody,
All I needed was anyone.

    General Comment:Man gotta love this song. Pretty much explains a lot of my relationships... just the desperation to find someone special, and then you realised that they just fuck you over again and again.
