I Was a Fountain

I was a fountain, you found her at my feet
While I was still gushing one big foolish flood right out of me
With nobody there to see
Me and the pigeons just kicking up the dust
Cradle your absence and one lonely shoe nobody needs
I know just how he feels

Although now I run on empty
Still carry my heart upon my sleeve
But I'll never be your go-between
Just suck it up
Then spit them all out
Like all men I've found
This life has its way of letting you down

Following the flooding, they cut off my supply
Draped in white netting, I'm married to my redundancy
Just me and the memories
Flat on thеir belly, the dogs can't take thе heat
They used to dive in, go splashing around, then shake it off down the street
At least someone misses me

Although now I run on empty
Still carry my heart upon my sleeve
But I'll never be your middleman
Just suck it up
Then spit them all out
So sick of this crowd
This life has its way of letting you down
Letting you down

I was a fountain, you found her at my feet
While I was still gushing one big foolish flood right out of me
With nobody there to see
