Poison Ivy

Is it better now
since it's over now
Is this what you always thought you would be?
Poison Ivy
So you bought a house
and your mom says 'wow'
and they're all so proud that you have found it
your home in italics
In your choir pin
and your prep-school grin
and bottled up chagrin. Behold your new world
it's gold with black swirls
So you think you've wiped it all away
but I know the truth
He won't be there and one day you'll break down
and then I'll be just like you
So you're in the round
with your thorny crown
and your bag of tricks that you keep open.
Your honesty token
In a couple years
if he's still here
you can have a beer and toast the old days
when life wasn't so great
So you think you've wiped it all away
but I know the truth
He won't be there and one day you'll break down
and then I'll be the one who comes back down
to where you are in my life and
I will be the one..
It comes right down to you
and you'll come running
So you think you've wiped it all away
but I know the truth
He won't be there every day and it comes down you
in another time I'd have fallen back down where you were too
But he won't be there and one day you'll break down
and THEN I'll be just like you
