Separation
Words and Music by A.D. Nation


i wish i had the strength inside to make you go away
i wish i was immune
but ever since i met you drinking at the circle bar
i go where you will to keep from being ripped in two

i still smile when i think of 1986
you and me in that little room, drunk on sex
then we'd fall asleep at every band we'd go to see
easier to pass out than to deal with you and me alone,
sitting in the dark drunk while john doe sings
about poor little girls and silver wings
something's got to give

i wish i knew why you're so intent on breaking me
you act just like a bitch possesed
i've had it up tp here with you're ever-changing crazy moods
i took your worst
while you just take my best
i've had enough (i really need a break)

you're always out screwing around
while i'm pounding on the neighbor's door
hoping they'll turn that led zeppelin down
something's got to give
something somewhere's got to give
something's got to give

want to break you from the inside out
that smug complacent smile is reason enough
i want to cut the ties that bind my life
i want to break you in your prime

i wish i had in me the power to make you disappear
i wish i had control
i just want to walk away
and never have to see or hear about the things you say
that i don't really want to know
what you do and what you say and where you go
everything i loved about you was just for show
something's got to give
something somewhere's got to give
i think i need a break
i think i need to separate from you.
