You could have sung the lyrics
From Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared
We both know every single word
And sing it just a little too passionately -
And that’s what you’re missing out on with me:
Some storybook fantasy that
I bet we’d both mess up the lyrics.
I bet I’d love the song a little more than you did.
I bet I’d love you a little more than you wanted,
A little more than you loved me.
I know it won’t hurt this much forever -
Joel got an entire book for Christ’s sake
And somehow that doesn’t burn anymore.
(Even if it still stings on occasion,
But in an almost bittersweet way.
I know it won’t hurt this much forever,
