Lyrics:

cheers darlin'
here's to you
and your lover boy
cheers darlin'
I've got years
to wait around for you
cheers darlin'
I've got your wedding bells
in my ear
cheers darlin'
you gave me three cigarettes
to smoke my tears away

and I die
when you mention his name
and I lied
i should have kissed you
when we were running
in the rains

what am I, darlin'?
a whisper in your ear?
a piece of your cake?
what am I, darling?
the boy you can fear?
or your biggest mistake?..

cheers darlin'
here's to you
and your lover man
cheers darlin'
I'll just hang around
and eat from a can
cheers darlin'
I got a ribbon of green
on my guitar
cheers darlin'
I got a beauty queen
to sit not very far from me

I die
when he goes around
to take you home
I'm too shy
I should've kissed you
when we were alone

what am I, darlin'?
a whisper in your ear?
a piece of your cake?
what am I, darlin'?
the boy can fear?..
or your biggest mistake?..

what am I?
what am I, darlin'?
I've got years to wait
around for you..

@Awnunn1  - we've all been there, its normal. its hard to believe it now but there are many more fishes in the sea, some of which are better than this one in every way.

[MsInaccessible1]

So true.



[Awnunn1]

I used to like this song.... before it became real life. Now it just hurts.

[hellsing4141]

[EmanuelWazar]

Sting.

A thousand times a sting.

O villain heart.

O villainy.
