## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

She's broken up with him inside her head

She's just waiting for the moment, that precious moment, to let him know

Share make-up with a stranger in unfamiliar beds

It's good for me, I'm sure, I'm sure it's good for me

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I thought

I'd do anything you ask of me, that's sure

What for?

My fingers pressed until they're sore, it's so

You said:

"It's crazy we used to do this sober"

You wake up and thank God it's over

Just, please, just let me go

**[Chorus]**

(Warsaw) The place that she got her first kiss

Is now a vaccination clinic

(Warsaw) Sat around a new Smeg fridge

Singing, "We're all so apathetic!"

(Warsaw) Smiling, laughing, watching movies

Lying, spread-out floral duvet

(Warsaw) Looks at you with earnest grace

And says, "The fuck it is we're doing?"

**[Verse 2]**

I hate to say I told you, but your habits wreck your head

If not for fear of deep vein thrombosis

I'd be there too, I guess

She just smiles at me, then waits a bit

Like guillotine, she says:

"Sometimes home is a cigarette

You're too straight-edge to get it"

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I'll do anything you ask of me, that's sure

What for?

My fingers pressed until they're sore, it's so

You said:

"It's crazy we used to do this sober"

You wake up and thank God it's over

Just, please, just let me go

**[Chorus]**

(Warsaw) The place that she got her first kiss

Is now a vaccination clinic

(Warsaw) Sat around a new Smeg fridge

Singing, "We're all so apathetic!"

(Warsaw) Smiling, laughing, watching movies

Lying, spread-out floral duvet

(Warsaw) Looks at you with earnest grace

And says, "The fuck it is we're doing?" (What do you want me to say?)

**[Bridge]**

It doesn't get any better

You can try and try

But you're just a cog in the machine

Apathy comforts me like a cell comforts an inmate

It won't get better, I assure you

Make no mistake, we're all going to end up in the dirt

I'll be seeing you soon

**[Outro]**

She hopes to God that I just choke

She hopes to God that I just choke

She hopes to God that I just choke

And it gets a little easier

She hopes to God that I just choke

She hopes to God that I just choke

She hopes to God that I just choke
