lyrics

when i come around
in another apartment
i don't want to know
this girl by my side
i can hear them say,
'it's happened again'
and i don't even know her name

so i slip out of bed
i know i won't wake her
i go through her purse
looking for change
i just take enough
to pay for the bus
i don't want them to think i'm strange

sometimes i see them smiling at me
but i know it's nothing more than a game
and sometimes i hear them laughing at me
when they don't even know my name

and when it's time to go
i wipe down the apartment
i take a shower
and pour bleach down the drain
i can hear them say,
'it's happened again'
and i don't even know her name
i can hear them say,
'it happened today'
and they don't even know my name
