I am a critic

Of my only critical need to define myself

With wine, and words, and lovers

And friends who don't understand.

So there, I just said it

You know that admitting the problem is the first step

Towards repair, "we all recover, "

Say the friends turned to wine-drunk lovers.

Smile, tell me I'm alright

With a goodbye

You are so misleading

A kiss or a gun fight

High-noon or midnight

Darling, I don't want to know

If I'm just a short sight on a cold night

The canals are freezing

So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye.

Am I a villain?

Cast among heroes with all of their

Underwhelming overbearing struggles

To become what they'll never be?

Friends to the wicked

Caution is calling, but nobody's home,

The lights are off, the party's over,

Now you're stuck plucking three-leaf clovers.

Smile, tell me I'm alright

With a goodbye

You are so misleading

A kiss or a gun fight

High-noon or midnight

Darling, I don't want to know

If I'm just a short sight on a cold night

The canals are freezing

So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye.

You've got the high ground

And I'm on my best defense,

But I

Dare you to come down

I'll give you an eye for an eye,

If it makes things easy...

Smile, tell me I'm alright

With a goodbye

You are so misleading

A kiss or a gun fight

High-noon or midnight

Darling, I don't want to know

If I'm just a short sight on a cold night

The canals are freezing

So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye.

Smile, tell me I'm alright

With a goodbye.
