I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

I am an American aquarium drinker

I assassin down the avenue

I'm hidin' out in the big city blinkin'

What was I thinkin' when I let go of you?

Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning

Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers

This is not a joke, so please stop smiling

What was I thinkin' when I said it didn't hurt?

I wanna glide through those brown eyes dreamin'

Take it from the inside, baby, hold on tight

You were so right when you said I've been drinkin'

What was I thinkin' when we said goodnight?

I wanna hold you in the Bible-black predawn

You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now

Take off your Band-Aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns

What was I thinkin' when we said hello?

I always thought that if I held you tightly

You would always love me like you did back then

Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinkin'

What was I thinkin' when I let you back in?

I am trying to break your heart

I am trying to break your heart

But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy

I am trying to break your heart

Disposable Dixie-cup drinkin'

I assassin down the avenue

I'm hidin' out in the big city blinkin'

What was I thinkin' when I let go of you?

Loves you

I'm the man who loves you
