Let down with a sympathetic promise Never to be seen again Got down for a fraction of a second Now I'm fine I don't care 'cause I never stood a chance to me I don't know why it happens all the time But I never have the time to grieve Can you appreciate the life we left behind? Or was it just a waste of time I could abbreviate my life down to a line I could abbreviate it now United, so you're saying sayonara Taking every chance you get Checkmate it's the end of the story No surprise The turndown was the obvious response Yeah the one I could anticipate I so wish you would leave me all alone But the repetition never ends Can you appreciate the life we left behind? Can you appreciate it now?
