Lyrics (Here)

So you were never a saint 

And I loved in shades of wrong 

We learn to live with the pain 

Mosaic broken hearts 

But this love is brave and wild

Commentary: 

"Our moral psychology has characterized, not the generic agent, but a particular species of agent, and a particularly bland species of agent, at that. It has characterized the earnest agent while ignoring those agents who are disaffected, refractory, silly, satanic, or punk. I hope for a moral psychology that has room for the whole motley crew."

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you 

'Cause each time you reach out, there's no reply 

I bet it never, ever occurred to you 

That I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye

Before you, I'd only dated self-indulgent takers 

Who took all of their problems out on me 

But you carry my groceries and now I'm always laughing 

And I love you because you have given me 

No choice but to Stay, stay, stay

It was a few years later, I showed up here 

And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared 

How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out 

They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere

Chose the rose garden over Madison Square 

And it took some time, but I understand it now
