Sleater-Kinney - Memorize Your Lines lyrics

rate me

I've learned how to wait. I know not to beg.

I know I shouldn't ask why I wake up feeling dead.

(Say forever, that's a dirty word

Will you stay here, that's a dirty girl)

Performance of your life, performance of my life,

performance of your life.

(Act two, scene four line three

I want this room, just for me, just for me)

You said you'd never be mine,

you swore it to me until the end of time

You said that love's never kind,

I memorize these lines, practice them every night.

We can talk it out, tell each other lies.

We can just pretend today isn't goodbye.

(It will be soon, now heard that before

You better polish your speech

before you hit the floor...)

Performance of your life, performance of my life,

performance of your life

(Act two, scene four line three

I want this room, just for me, just for me)

You said you'd never be mine,

you swore it to me until the end of time

You said that love's never kind,

I memorize these lines, practice them every night.

Wont you tell me what are we fighting for?

Do you want me here do you know for sure?

(You said you'd never be mine,

you swore it to me until the end of time)

You know the coldest face is the worst to me

and I won't calm down till I get to you

You know that I wish I could undo this role

Let's go back to what, what we came here for
