Stringalong Lyrics by Jay Brannan

Goddamned

2008

[Verse 1]
To the boy who should've loved me
From the boy you could've had
I promise not to send this letter
I wouldn't want you to feel bad

For not opening your heart to me
For your unavailability
I guess you're not required to like me
But did you fake it just to spite me?

[Chorus]
Well here's a little string along song for you
So give up your pride, your past, your pain, your fear of intimacy
And string along with me too

Thanks for leading me on
But this time I'm gonna be strong
Although your disinterest kind of came as a surprise 'cause
You could see the sin and the sadness
And taste the Gin and the madness on my lips
And in my eyes, well
I can't help that I wanna see you again
But it takes two to start a string along song
And only one to make it end

[Verse 2]
Well the flake syndrome is an epidemic that
Spans the globe from town to town
But I can't figure out why you put forth such an effort
To win me over just to turn me down

'Cause your words are so soft and sweet
But your actions are screaming
And if you see me waiting around for you
Hope you also see you're dreaming

[Chorus]
Well here's a little string along song for you
So give up your pride, your past, your pain, your fear of intimacy
And string along with me too

Thanks for leading me on
But this time I'm gonna be strong
Although your disinterest kind of came as a surprise 'cause
You could see the sin and the sadness
And taste the Gin and the madness on my lips
And in my eyes, well
I can't help that I wanna see you again
But it takes two to start a string along song
And only one to make it end

[Verse 3]
I know he'll break my heart
I know I'll fall apart
And I know cause this is how it starts
Maybe it's wrong of me
To wish that we could be
But your kiss matched mine so perfectly

[Chorus]
So here's a little string along song for you
So give up your pride, your past, your pain, your fear of intimacy
And string along with me too

Thanks for leading me on
But this time I'm gonna be strong
I wish you weren't too scared to speak your goodbyes 'cause
The truth is I wish you well
Thanks for saving me from hell
I owe you one of the few I've got left of my nine lives, well
I can't help that I wanna see you again
But it takes two to start a string along song
And only one to make it end
