Waltz, No. 2 (XO)

Lyrics

First the mic, then a half cigarette
 Singing Kathy's clown
 That's the man she's married to now
 That's the girl that he takes around town
 She appears composed
 So she is, I suppose
 Who can really tell?
 She shows no emotion at all
 Stares into space like a dead china doll
 I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
 ♪
 Now she's done, and they're calling someone
 Such a familiar name
 I'm so glad that my memory's remote
 'Cause I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
 Here it is, the revenge to the tune
 You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, you're no good
 Can't you tell that it's well understood?
 I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
 ♪
 I'm here today, expect it to stay on, and on, and on
 I'm tired, I'm tired
 Looking out on the substitute scene
 Still going strong
 XO Mom
 It's OK, it's alright, nothing's wrong
 Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans
 To just leave me alone
 In the place where I make no mistakes
 In the place where I have what it takes
 I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
 I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
 I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
