From the album Your Favorite Dress
Lyrics by: Dave Mountain
Music by: Dave Mountain
When you asked me not to leave
Well, it just was not my scene
See, all the dirty snow just left me feeling cold.
And no, I don't think I want that
I think I'm fine just the way I am
See, I never take anything I can not afford.
I never asked to be your conscience
I never wanted to be your priest
I never felt I was supposed to be
The target for your release.
I never felt worse than this
I'm never gonna look at you the same
I'm never gonna try to forgive you
I'm trying so hard to spread the blame.
The pain...
And they told me they carried you out
It was Kurt Cobain's bar mitzvah
A shotgun is the worst kind of tool.
I never asked to be your reason
I never wanted to be your life
Never agreed to be the Monarch to your Fool.
I never asked to be your conscience
I never wanted to be your priest
I never felt I was supposed to be
The target for your release.
I never felt worse than this
I'm never gonna look at you the same
I'm never gonna try to forgive you
I'm trying so hard to spread the blame.
The pain...
Memory...
