I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

I am an American aquarium drinker I assassin down the avenue I'm hidin' out in the big city blinkin' What was I thinkin' when I let go of you? Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers This is not a joke, so please stop smiling What was I thinkin' when I said it didn't hurt? I wanna glide through those brown eyes dreamin' Take it from the inside, baby, hold on tight You were so right when you said I've been drinkin' What was I thinkin' when we said goodnight? I wanna hold you in the Bible-black predawn You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now Take off your Band-Aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns What was I thinkin' when we said hello? I always thought that if I held you tightly You would always love me like you did back then Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinkin' What was I thinkin' when I let you back in? I am trying to break your heart I am trying to break your heart But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy I am trying to break your heart Disposable Dixie-cup drinkin' I assassin down the avenue I'm hidin' out in the big city blinkin' What was I thinkin' when I let go of you? Loves you I'm the man who loves you
