She knows I know that she's not happy any more She knows I know that I'm not father material We've seen our share of weddings, and a couple of funerals She knows I know that all good empires fall Go to pieces, dancing drunk with her on the porch Go to pieces, things meant far less than I thought Tiptoed down the staircase, saw the writing on the wall I saw our shadows in the corners, our expiry dates and all I tried to count my blessings, the best parts come before the fall And, you see, people like me? Can't be the things you're looking for Go to pieces, dancing drunk with her on the porch Go to pieces, things meant far less than I thought Go to pieces, mostly friends and nothing more Go to pieces, I'm only human after all Drunk and high, we almost died We're everywhere at the end of time We're everywhere at the end of time Go to pieces, dancing drunk with her on the porch Go to pieces, things meant far less than I thought Go to pieces, mostly friends and nothing more Go to pieces, I'm only human after all Maybe I'm no better Maybe the cycle just repeats And I'd doom you to a life of melancholic mediocrity But hey, yeah you, with the sad face I am a hopeless case, and you're so damn pretty But you couldn't love every part of me And I don't need those things, I don't need your pity And with that said, I'll make my peace And with that said, I'll make my peace
