lyrics

Sometimes working it out
Is the only thing that doesn’t work in this big bad world
You’re damned if you fall
And you’re damned if you feel nothing at all

And it’s sad you didn’t get to do
all the things that you wanted to

But I got unpaid wages
Unturned pages
Knockin’ at my front door

And I’m just tired of your excuses
And your rudeness
At the dinner table

And they say
That absence makes the heart grow fonder
And it takes you to places
Common sense wouldn’t tempt to wander

But as the distance grew longer
And the pain got stronger
We had to say our goodbyes

But I got unpaid wages
Unturned pages
Knockin’ at my front door
And I'm just tired of your excuses
And your rudeness
At the dinner table

And I felt used
On the curb battered and bruised
Pick my battles before I could even choose
Ready to fight on the front of broken promises
The jury’s out and you're guilty no doubt

But I got unpaid wages
Unturned pages
Knocking at my front door
And I’m just tired of your excuses
And your rudeness
At the dinner tables

I sure do miss your excuses
And your rudeness
At the dinner table
