Grabbed the moon, full of hope
Fell to earth without rope
Heart as heavy as a stone

Been betrayed, been abused
Spirit flayed and ego bruised
Ev'rybody dies alone

I always knew before he flew
He was too good for me
Now I'm here with you
How more different could you be?

You're just like me, alone and sad
And in this light, you don't look so bad
I've had the best, now I need a rest
Just someone who'll do
And I'm ready to settle for you

This feeling like a cancer grows
Feel the rot between my toes
Why take another breath?

For now I see that all life brings
Is a string of disappointing things
And in the end, cold death

We're both aware this love we share
Can't even fill a room
And so we talk too loud
To drown out the desp'rate gloom

My heart is dead
Heart is dead
A hollow bone
Hollow bone
I'm filled with dread
I'll end up alone
I'll move in my stuff, act like it's enough
I'm past thirty-two
Past thirty-two
And I'm ready to settle for you

See the happy people laughing
They're all deaf and blind
Blind and deaf
Why should we go on searching
For something we won't find
There's no hope
Why should we pretend we're happy too?
You know we're not
I'd rather just stay home and sulk with you

You're just like me, alone and sad
And in the dark, you don't look so bad
It's nice to know, that you'll never go:
'Cause if not me, then who?
And I'm ready to settle for you
Ready to settle for you
Ready to settle for you
Ready to settle for you
Ready to settle for you
Ready to settle for you
Ready to settle for you
