When We Two Parted Lyrics

Baby, I see you've made yourself all sick again
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

Baby, you can open your eyes now
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.

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.
