lyrics

we've come this far and then you leave
we've come this far and then there's someone else
we've come this far and then you leave

i remember when the other guy died
i was sat in my brother's room looking out of the window in the dark
(playing songs from carrie and lowell)
(wishing so bad it was) a bad dream that i'd wake up from
and i remember that summer is when i learned to love the glow, pt. 2
because up until then i'd never lost something serious before
something that mattered enough

it took me a long time to make peace with the fact that
i live where i live and i know who i know
and i guess i'm real after all (after all)

it's all such a foreign idea to me
that love of life can be constructed out of nothing

i don't know why i lie and say that you left me.
it feels like the loving you left me
before anything else happened.
i guess that's why i say it after all (after all)

i feel like the fake me left you
i still feel like the real me belongs to you
i still feel like we talk everyday
and you tell me to listen to arthur russell and show me the body and whatever the fuck else

i'm just like you i was just like you i was just like you
i'm just like you

if i'm not you then i'm nothing
i'm nothing if i'm not you
(i'm nothing at all)
if i'm not you then i'm nothing
i'm nothing at all
if i'm not you then i'm nothing
(i'm nothing if i'm not you)
i'm nothing if i'm not you
i'm nothing at all

i'll be whatever you make me
i'll be whatever you make me
(lie and betray me, hate me, play me)
i'll be whatever you make me
(lie and betray me, hate me, play me)
lie and betray me, hate me, play me
i'll be whatever you make me
i'll be whatever you make me
(lie and betray me, hate me, play me)
i'll be whatever you make me
