lyrics

Did you say what you wanted to say?
But I didn't listen anyway
I wrote it down then forgot about it

Did it feel how you thought it would feel?
Did you have enough time to heal?
I took advantage of your pain

Well what did you expect?
When your liver gave way
In retrospect, you're to blame
What did you expect?
When your heart gave way
In retrospect we're the same

Did you settle for someone healthy?
Someone like you but deliciously wealthy
With his tongue in his cheek and a wink in his eye

Wouldn't you prefer someone risky?
On a diet of peanuts and whisky
You'll tell yourself that you never had so much fun

Well what did you expect?
When your liver gave way
In retrospect, you're to blame
What did you expect?
When your body gave way
In retrospect we're the same

Its a binding contract
You cannot go back
No, you cannot go back
No, you cannot rewind
On the side where I'm blind
You caught me offside
No you caught me
No you caught me
