But do you want that?
As you tear and tear your hair from roots
Would always make you feel better
I remember everything, the words we spoke on freezing South Street
Always one sided, nothing is clear
Something about those bright colors

And the words we say aren't meant for anyone
This weight would now be satisfied
I didn't want to tell you this
But there was once you
Or just not live
And I sing and sing of awful things
As you tear and tear your hair from roots
The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears
The pleasure that my sadness brings

Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie
But I talk in the mirror
Yet another clumsy chord
Our love would never die
You know not what you do

Dangling before my eyes
To this meaning that I lack
It's just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance
I don't understand that sound no more
Our love would never die, well, ha ha ha
Except we keep coming back
Our conversations are circles

I know not who I am?
Let the funeral start, hear the casket close
Haligh, Haligh, a lie, Haligh

The plans were never finalized
Seems artificial, like a TV set
You'd always be there, where are you now?
And you'd take care of me
To the stranger that appears
Haligh, Haligh, a lie, Haligh
Thank you and hang up the phone
You said you hate my suffering, and you understood

Of that same head you've twice removed
Let's pin split black ribbon to your overcoat
From that same head that you have twice removed
Now, a lock of hair you said would prove

No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with
As my fingers press onto the strings
And now, you must live them

The laughter pours from under doors in this house

He says "The choices were given"
But now we speak with ruined tongues
This weight, it must be satisfied
Now, a lock of hair you said would prove
You offer only one reply
You combed your hair inside that mirror
But left to hang like yarn and twine
I don't know, the past couple of weeks, I guess
I'm gonna give you only one reply
All those mornings watching you get ready for school
