When We Two Parted Lyrics
didn't I do a good job of pretending?
Baby, you're saying that the victim doesn't want it to end
Good. I get to dress up and play the assassin again
it's my favorite
it's got personality
I should have seen this shit coming down the hall
every night I spent in that bed with you facing the wall
if I could have only once heard you scream
to say you were alive
instead of watching you abandoning yourself
and please allow me to present you with a clue
if I inflict the pain
then baby only I can comfort you, yeah
Out of the night we come
and into the night we go
if it starts to hurt you
then you have to say so






cover of the afghan whigs song by the same name. go pick up the afghan whigs album "gentlemen" at your local record store. the version on the album will BLOW YOU AWAY. seriously, i love the guk and the na's but i have to say that the afghan whigs are amazing and much more talented than the musicians in the aforementioned bands.

this is a great song. i love it...i was laying in bed thinking about it one time. hahah...

this song is so cool i dont know wat its about but it sounds gud.

Does this song have anything to do with Lord Byron's poem, When We Two Parted? Great peom, not-so-bad song.

the lyrics to this song are amazing. i'd pick out a a few great lines, but then i might as well copy the whole song.

dudes, this is one of the best songs in the world! good stuff, good stuff...

I should have seen this shit coming down the hall every night I spent in that bed with you facing the wall if I could have only once heard you scream to say you were alive instead of watching you abandoning yourself
this song reminds me of a old friend i had, we were so close and he was just going to hell with me aaround, i eventualy had to let go ...hence "if I inflict the pain then baby only I can comfort you" i thought if i was causing all of the shat, that mabee i can fix it ...we both got emotionaly damaged in the end

a boy put it on a mix tape for my sister that found it's way into my car: the only song that caught my attention, and did it. i guessed it was matt pryor's voice but only just now found out the name of the song. brilliant, brilliant, moving, beautiful, brilliant.

to me...it sounds like a guy is in a relationship with a girl who has no self esteem. and that guy is probably pretty emotionally abusive, he might not intend to be so abusive to the girl but he can't help it because of his own weakness. and becuase she wont say anything it keeps building up to a point where she breaks down. then he realizes what hes done for the moment, apologizes and comforts her, and then the cycle resumes.
i've been that guy and this song makes me cry every time i hear it.

its track number 10 not number 9
