You walk down Alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone
Like some precious only son. Face down, bow to the champion
You walk down Alameda lookin' at the cracks in the sidewalk
Thinking about your friends. How you maintain all them in a constant state of suspense

For your own protection over their affection, nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cause you can't finish what you start

Walk down Alameda brushing off the nightmares you wish could plague me when I'm awake
So now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate
For one or two minutes she liked you, but the fix is in

You're all pretension; I never pay attention. Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cause you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart. You broke your own 'cause you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart. You broke your own 'cause you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart. If you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart
