Lyrics
[Verse 1]
While you wait for the others
To make it all worthwhile
All your useless pretensions
Are weighing on my time
You could beg for forgiveness
As long as you like
Or just wait out the evening
[PreChorus]
You'll only bleed me dry
Yes, you'll only bleed me dry
So I'll ask you kindly
To make your way
[Chorus]
And what was left
A perfect cleft
We all fall through
[Verse 2]
While you wait on the answers
That I'll pretend to find
Keeping up with the motions
Still occupies our time
You could hope for some substance
As long as you like
Or just wait out the evening
[PreChorus]
And always ask me why
Yes, you'll only bleed me dry
So I'll ask you kindly
To make your way
[Chorus]
And what was left
A perfect cleft
We all fall through
[Bridge]
And all we want, want, want, want
Want, want, want, want
Want, want, want, want
Want, want, want
Want, want, want, want
Want, want, want, want
[Outro]
And what was left
And what was left
And what was left
