Don't try selling me your heartbreak
Cause I can't take another sales pitch
You don't want to be the last one
Who's no fun
The one that's always left behind
I know it's hard
To see clearly all of the time
So go do what you want
And i'll try hard to be more understanding

But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just want to be there to see the last laugh

I'll try killing you with kindness
Forget the mindless things I might have said
And I won't try to catch you or stop you
From doing what you think is right
I'll look the other way
And maybe I was wrong this one time
It's got to be hard
When the rest of the world's gone crazy around you

But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just want to be there to see the last laugh

Back and forth you swing
From routine to obscene
And I know that you're just like me
And that's exactly what I like about you
I guess I'm probably insane too
By four is what I'd use to smack you upside your head
Cause you drive me crazy

So don't keep singing me your sad song
Its been so long
Since I've gotten through and
I'm not gonna be the last one who's no fun,
The one that's always left behind
Don't get me wrong
When I don't tell you what you want to hear
And go do what you want
And i'll try hard to be more understanding

But I don't want to live like that
Under your thumb, behind your back
I just want to be there to see the last laugh
