The Disco Before the Breakdown

The Disco Before the Breakdown

Against Me!
(album: Reinventing Axl Rose)

If you follow the jaw line down over the heart,
the curves of your bone and muscle that make up your head to toe...
It´s just skin and thread, stitches and ligaments,
words that we spoke only to regret.

And I know they´re going to laugh at us
when they, when they see us out together "holding hands" like this.
They wouldn´t understand it if we told them all the reasons,
not that I think this deserves any kind of explanation.

And we´ll, we´ll make it up so we´ve got a smile painted on all the time,
no matter what it´s like on the inside.
We´ll keep this, keep us like a secret,
cause if my family and friends ever found out about
the things we could never be,
haunts we´ll all keep, so fucking bittersweet.

And I know they´re going to laugh at us
when they, when they see us out together "holding hands" like this.
They wouldn´t understand it if we told them all the reasons,
not that I think this deserves any kind of explanation.
