He was downing a gin and tonic
Insisting it was symbiotic
While you were a kettle on the fire
You were a kettle on the fire
I don't understand how they can feel
Anything but a little sad
The cynics in them say it isn't fair
The cynic in me says I just don't care
It's easy to fall in a rut you made
It's easy to work at a job you hate
It's harder to turn and walk away
It's harder to let it fall away
After all the mess
Is swept behind the store
We cry for what we've lost
But you finished crying years before
Of course it would happen after all
The times you broke his fall
He thought he can do anything he wants
He can do anything he wants
So when you found yourself alone
And staring up at a body coming down
You prayed to God and you closed your eyes
You prayed to God and you said goodbye
You prayed to God and you stepped aside
After all
After all
After all
After all
You can do anything you want
You can be anyone you want
After all
After all
You can do anything you want
You can be anyone you want
