The Dress You Bought in Cleveland

Your beauty always shines
Especially through my tears
And I've been standing in your waiting lines
For oh, so many years
They all think they know you
'Cause they buy tickets at your booth
But only I can hold you
Like it was the truth
Can we take another trip
Find a place where your resolve might slip
Which painting do you think you are
But even art can't take us that far
'Cause you've been keeping your own place
Keeping away from me
You gave me everything
But none of it was free
If you think this is my revenge
Then I guess you're probably right
It's not my revenge on you
It's just my revenge on life
'Cause you still wonder
What all these bitter tears are for
The dress you bought in Cleveland
That for me you never wore
Never wore

And I'll always be losing you
And I'll always fail the test
And I'll be crying at your name
As they drag me to my death
Okay, I accept it
Sorry I'm inclined to sentiment
But you never really knew
What anything I said meant
'Cause you still wonder
What all these bitter tears are for
The dress you bought in Cleveland
That for me you never wore
Never wore
Never wore
Never wore
Never wore
We never were
Never were
We never were
Never were
