Break the news - you're walking out. To be a good man for someone else. Sorry I was never good like you. Stood on my chest and kept me down. Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd. Did my best to exist just for you. Bet you rue the day you kissed. a writer in the dark. Bet you rue the day you kissed. a writer in the dark. Now she's gonna play and sing. and lock you in her heart. Bet you rue the day you kissed. a writer in the dark. I am my mother's child. I'll love you 'til my breathing stops. I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me. But in our darkest hours. I stumbled on a secret power. I'll find a way to be without you babe. I still feel you now and then. Slow like pseudo-ephedrine. When you see me will you say I've changed?. I ride the subway read the signs. I let the seasons change my mind. I love it here since I've stopped needing you. Bet you rue the day you kissed. a writer in the dark. Bet you rue the day you kissed. a writer in the dark. Now she's gonna play and sing. and lock you in her heart. Bet you rue the day you kissed. a writer in the dark. I am my mother's child. I'll love you 'til my breathing stops. I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me. But in our darkest hours. I stumbled on a secret power. I'll find a way to be without you babe. I am my mother's child. I'll love you 'til my breathing stops. I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me. But in our darkest hours. I stumbled on a secret power. I'll find a way to be without you babe
