What was I trying to play at
I'd never normally say that
I would never do you no harm
I guess everybody's been there
It's just love they want to declare
When words don't come out right
they cause harm
You had me there
at the tip of my tongue
It was tragic
You left me hanging now
my shame's on the run
It was tragic
Your friends are laughing
at the things that I've done
Can't take back the words,
I'll admit that I'm dumb
It was tragic
It was tragic
Honestly baby,
please don't try to save me
There's a hole I've dug
where I'm gonna lie
The people pay their respects
Don't they know that
I ain't dead yet
I just smell a little funny ain't no lie
You had me there
at the tip of my tongue
It was tragic
You left me hanging
with my laces undone
It was tragic
Your friends are laughing
at the things that I've done
Can't take back the words,
I'll admit that I'm dumb
It was tragic (it was tragic)
It was tragic (so goddam tragic)
It was tragic (it was tragic)
It was tragic
They're always laughing
at the things that I've done
I've been dying of shame
before my life had begun
It was tragic (it was tragic)
It was tragic (so goddam tragic)
It was tragic (it was tragic)
It was tragic (so goddam tragic)
It was ooh-oh
It was ooh-oh
It was ooh-oh
It was ooh-oh
