Why Are You with Me

I'm the sad clown that sings
I'm the bad wine the good guest brings
Too self-absorbed for magic
My car is always stuck in traffic

I sleep in an airless cell
I got a rich and deep private hell
Oh why are you with me
Oh why are you with me

I'm white as a lie (why are you with me)
I used to say I was bi (why are you with me)
Always ready to strike out or hurt (why are you with me)
Plus I never take off my shirt (why are you with me)
I am always chewing empty bowls (why are you with me)
And plates of cheese and toast (why are you with me)
I claim my music is in demand (why are you with me)
I even went to Stonehenge with my band (why are you with me)

And I knew from the start
That you could break my heart
You don't laugh at all my jokes
But you wear all my coats

I knew from the start
That you could break my heart
'Cause with you nothing's wrong
'Cause you're where I belong
I knew from the start
That you could break my heart

Romantic comedies and tears (why are you with me)
I'm a slave to all my fears (why are you with me)
The silhouette of a garden gnome (why are you with me)
And I always like to be alone (why are you with me)
And I've never been loved
The way that you love
I've never been loved
The way that you love
