lyrics

From nineteen to twenty-three
Noughty-five and now she’s through with me

Apathetic, glassy eyed
Perpetually dissatisfied

Break off, tell me I’m dreaming
Break off, ears are still ringing

Oh no
I should have known it’s never good
When my baby, barely out the womb,
is demanding motherhood

Oh no
I hear a voice beyond the door
And I do not know why I answer it
When it wants to go to war

When I ask her why, I hear,
“I am just having a rotten year”

I bought it until a pal
told me that’s a flimsy rationale
(She’s right)

Break off

Oh no
I should have known it’s never good
When my baby, barely out the womb,
is demanding motherhood

Oh no
I hear a voice beyond the door
And I do not know why I answer it
When it wants to go to war

Break off
