So I'm running to you, you're on the way back from down the fabulous premiere The Shebelle, just old black clothes Newly colored fake black hair You look me over like maybe I might be okay every now and then Man you tell me bout that groovy down town I just did your fame and its new best friend He's getting 10 signed originals, none writing your environmental fund I used to fall for it all Now I'm gone gone gone You've got a book tour, and there's a bidding war for your latest screenplay rights Your subs are here and the leaf work's gonna land you a feature in the Times You throw out the book you're reading Something about empathy You say your heart is all so very open Now we can love so completely And your kids the most multi-dimensional child his teachers ever known I used to fall for it all Now I'm gone gone gone Of course your knowledge is perfection But you miss bound on the side Cause you're entitled to some extracurricular fun at night Your love, it punctuates his words with his fists on the walls beside your head He needs to express his feelings, that's what you said he said And you believed that You used to run pretty good con with young terrible types than me I watched you lie to everyone but you'd never lie to me Cause I knew I was all the things you said, more special than anyone Until someone more useful to me came along and you and I were done And now you're on the prowl for something new, naive, sweet and dumb I used to fall for it all Now I'm gone gone gone
