Violins Lyrics - Hoss - Lagwagon

I am just another fool and I have to keep telling myself 

That I am just an hypocrite and I have to keep calling you one 

'Cause I forgot to bite my tongue 

And my assumption is the mother of all mistakes 

As I assume the role 

Open my mouth 

And clumsy words escape 

Chorus: 

So why you want to be there 

When you could be here 

You are slipping away 

I awake with your replacement 

A bottle in my grasp 

In a unfamiliar place 

Because you put me out 

The butt of a sick joke 

Into this ashtray life 

As you come and go 

'Cause I forgot to service you 

And we broke down 

And you can't live with my mistakes 

So I assume false grace 

Open my arms 

And grasp at something true 

Chorus 

How are you 

How have you been 

Girl I miss you 

Wanna see you again 

Repeat chorus 

I bring out the worst in you 

And you try to let me know 

You bring out the worst in me 

Anxiety I'm trying to let you go 

You say I'm giving you the creeps 

So I assume the role 

Open my claws 

And grasp for your heart 

Repeat chorus 

Into you 

Like a mortal stake 

So vindictive 

Your love's slipping away 

Violins Violence 

The butt of your sick joke 

Into this ashtray life 

I'm trying hard to let you go
