Casiotone For The Painfully Alone

it gets worse before it gets better
that's what your best friend said in the letter
all the pictures are still on the shelf
& you're barely making rent by yourself
your mom is worried for your health
you said it right from the start
these sorts of things fall apart
you take the subway home after work
from your job as a retail clerk
you're spending all the money you've saved
records keep the quiet away
up all night and sleep all day
he said it right from the start
these sorts of things fall apart
