Corduroy Lyrics

The waiting drove me mad

You're finally here and I'm a mess

I take your entrance back

Can't let you roam inside my head

I don't want to take what you can give

I would rather starve than eat your bread

I would rather run but I can't walk

Guess I'll lie alone just like before


I'll take the firmest path

Oh, and I must refuse your test

A-push me and I will resist

This behavior's not unique


I don't want to hear from those who know

They can buy, but can't put on my clothes

I don't want to limp for them to walk

Never would have known of me before

I don't want to be held in your debt

And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed

And I'm already cut up and half dead

I'll end up alone like I began


Everything has changed...

Absolutely nothing's changed...

Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture


I don't want to take what you can give

I would rather starve than eat your breast

All the things that others want for me

Can't buy what I want because it's free... (2x)

Can't be what you want because I'm...


I ain't s'posed to be just fun

Oh, to live and die, let it be done

I figure I'll be damned

All alone like I began...


It's your move now...

I thought you were a friend,

but I guess I, I guess I hate you
