I don't want to write about
All the things I'm still working out
Terrible things you wouldn't believe
So I'll just leave you with these

Throwaway lines
The best I can do
Throwaway lines like
"I love you"

I'm afraid you can see
What I really mean
When I sing
In between
Throwaway lines

I don't wanna let you down
I always want you around
But, man, my tongue gets so tied
And the hurt gets harder to hide

With throwaway lines
It's the best I can do
Throwaway lines like
"I love you"
They don't have to be true

Throwaway lines
An endless parade
Throwaway lines
Just taking up space

I'm afraid you can see
What I really mean
When I sing
In between
My throwaway lines

I'm afraid you can see
What I really mean
When I sing
In between
My throwaway lines
