With Love, Your Clementine

[Verse 1]
Both my eyes are open, but all my doors are closed
I'm a dead woman walkin' down a long and dusty road
Tryna cash a token that's worth its weight in gold
But when I try to spend it, it's worth nothin' at all
A pretty pill, a bitter taste, a view to make you cry
For every brief hello, there's a long drawn-out goodbye
The days when I don't talk to you feel like no one's here at all
I'm writin' now to reach you, but I've hit the wonderwall

[Chorus]
And I just got this feelin' everythin' is goin' wrong
Remember your voice sayin', "Just hold on"
And I just got this feelin' everythin' will disappear
Remember your voice sayin', "Have no fear"

[Verse 2]
They all sent me flyin' like a human cannonball
Now, my back is broken, broken from the fall
It's not what they've been saying, it's what they have implied
Now, I've gotta be okay with no one by my side
A bitter pill to swallow, the day I made you cry
You asked why I can't love you, I failed, but I have tried
Still, I keep your postcard stuck on my bedside
"You are my greatest failure, with love, your Clementine"

[Chorus]
When I get this feelin' everythin' is goin' wrong
I remember your voice sayin', "Just hold on"
And when I get the feelin' everythin' will disappear
I remember your voice sayin', "Have no fear"
"And remember, when you're singin', make it rhyme"
Oh, I wish that I could love you, Clementine

[Outro]
I wish that I could love you, Clementine
