At My Expense

The same situation's getting sadder by the second
The air just filled with smoke
Until somebody spoke
I never felt as foolish as you made me feel
Why'd you have to be so vague
You always came across so vague

And I poured my heart out

When the ship goes down, remind me to thank her
'Cause we're all gonna be tied to the anchor
And you and your friends can have a laugh at my expense
'Cause I don't have a defense

The only thing that matters if it matters at all
Is the way that the pieces fall
And why you always stand so tall
The only thing that matters if it matters at all
Is what we don instead
If you quit while you're ahead

When the ship goes down, remind me to thank her
'Cause we're all gonna be tied to the anchor
And you and your friends can have a laugh at my expense
'Cause I don't have a defense
