Divorce Song

Liz Phair · Exile In Guyville [1993]

And when I asked for a separate room

It was late at night, and we'd been driving since noon

But if I'd known how that would sound to you

I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life

Just to prove I was right:

That it's harder to be friends than lovers

And you shouldn't try to mix the two

'Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy

Then you know that the problem is you.



And it's true that I stole your lighter

And it's also true that I lost the map

But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to

I had to take your word on that



But if you'd known how that would sound to me

You would have taken it back,

And boxed it up and buried it in the ground

Boxed it up and buried it in the ground

Boxed it up and buried it in the ground

Burned it up and thrown it away



You put in my hand a loaded gun

And then told me not to fire it

When you did the things that you said were up to me

And then accused me of trying to fuck it up



But you've never been a waste of my time

It's never been a drag

So take a deep breath and count back from ten

And maybe you'll be all right



And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead

But if you're tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am



But you've never been a waste of my time

It's never been a drag

So take a deep breath and count back from ten

And maybe you'll be all right.
