When I spend too much time alone, I get afraid

Afraid that you're gonna leave me breathing

Afraid of what they'd throw in the way

In the way of something simple like leaving

"Forgive me if you can", said the sad cashier

"For the dollars and cents our love has become

I didn't sell you anything my dear

You were a scarecrow looking for a bonfire to sleep on"

"Believe me if you can", said the pile of bones

"I think that this is all there is left to see

Just waiting for my prescription to come

'Cause every sec in hell dissolves more of me"

And all of heaven's ten thousand whores

Are on a partyline to his big toe

Singing, "Ooh I just can't do it anymore

So don't bother asking now you know"

Don't bother me with little things

Pennies, nickels, quarters, and dimes

They've all taken me as far as I'm gonna go

So don't bother asking now you know

Believe me if you can
