lyrics

Your words are like water when you try to tell me anything at all
I'll drink them up and swallow them down but after awhile just piss it all away
I know you don't mean anything that you say to me but
It feels so nice to have the thrill of a compliment linger in my ear

This is you; this is me and loneliness makes three
We are real. We are here. In loneliness, nothing's clean.

My words are like water when I'm holding you, whispering things I like about you
You open your hand, watch it pool up but after awhile just let it all slip away
You know I don't mean anything that I say to you but
It feels so nice to have the thrill of a compliment linger in your ear

This is you; this is me and loneliness makes three
We are real. We are here. In loneliness, nothing's clean.

I've made my bed now it's time to leave
I've got a mess that I don't want to clean
Loneliness is loving this, holding my hand
He's staring me in the eye, telling me that he understands

He understands that
This is you; this is me and loneliness makes three
We are real. We are here. In loneliness, nothing's clean
This is you; this is me and loneliness makes three
We are real. We are here. In loneliness, nothing's clean.
