April
Mike Tolan
Three days into April
How can it be snowing still
I'm still broke and now I’m just getting off work
Just about the time you gotta get up and go in
And in your absence
I sleep in late and bounce between breaking up and moving in
Somehow I wish that you would just leave
So I wouldn't have to live with the sin
Of breaking it off again
Giving love away
Two and a half years to the day
As we build our lives
From the lines in TV shows
We try so hard
To buy away all our sorrow
And as we slowly grind ourselves to dust
We'll give up everything
How could anything be worth that much
Just to die in debt
In a retirement home
Unloved, unhappy, and alone
