When We Two Parted

New Amsterdams


Baby, I see you've made yourself all sick again 
didn't I do a good job of pretending? 
Baby, you're saying that the victim doesn't want it to end 
Good. I get to dress up and play the assassin again 
it's my favorite 
it's got personality 
I should have seen this shit coming down the hall 
every night I spent in that bed with you facing the wall 
if I could have only once heard you scream 
to say you were alive 
instead of watching you abandoning yourself 

Baby, you can open your eyes now 
and please allow me to present you with a clue 
if I inflict the pain 
then baby only I can comfort you, yeah 

Out of the night we come 
and into the night we go 
if it starts to hurt you 
then you have to say so
