I Am Trying To Break Your Heart Lyrics - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco

I am an American aquarium drinker 

I assassin down the avenue 

I'm hiding out in the big city blinking 

What was I thinking 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 thinking when I said it didn't hurt? 

I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming 

Take it from the inside, baby hold on tight 

You were so right when you said that I've been drinking 

What was I thinking when I said good night? 

I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn 

You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now 

Take off your Band-Aid because I don't believe in touchdowns 

What was I thinking when I said hello? 

I'd always thought that if I held you tightly 

You'd always love me like you did back then 

Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking 

What was I thinking 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 drinking 

I assassin down the avenue 

I'm hiding out in the big city blinking 

What was I thinking when I let go of you? 

Loves you 

I'm the man who loves you
