Nobody Really Knows Anything

the neighbours thought they'd seen it all last night 

but i'm just glad that it's all over now 

and nobody really knows anything 

and you threw me out of your bedroom once again 

for being too drunk to sleep with you 

you said i was no use to anyone 



and i know that this is not the answer 

i know that this is not the answer 

i know that this is not the answer 

but i do it anyway 



we had it all and we threw it all away 

and now i wish we had it all again 

but i guess that no use to anyone 

and all the boys you say you used to know 

come back to haunt you now that you're alone 

sometimes you think it's what you need 



and we can pretend that it's not dying 

we can pretend that it's not dying 

we can pretend that it's not dying 

but it's dying anyway 



and if i get drunk then i won't have to sleep with you 

and we can pretend for a little while 

that everything has stayed the same 

and if you get drunk it might work for a little while 

but everything is not the same 

no matter what we say 



and we can pretend that it's not dying 

we can pretend that it's not dying 

we can pretend that it's not dying 

but it's dying anyway 



and all the boys you say you used to know 

come back to haunt you now that you're alone 

you think it's what you need 

and all the boys you say you used to know 

come back to haunt you now that you're alone 

sometimes you think it's what you need
