Tindersticks
Dying Slowly
[Verse 1]
I've got memories
I keep them away from me
They won't behave
Won't be what I want them to be

[Refrain]
I've seen it all and it's all dumb
I've been with everyone and no one

[Verse 2]
So many squandered moments
So much wasted time
So busy chasing dreams
I left myself behind

[Refrain]
I've seen it all and it's all dumb
I've been with everyone and no one

[Chorus]
So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
[Verse 3]
But these worms, darling
They're nibbling away at me
They go at it when I'm sleeping
Won't let me get to my feet

[Refrain]
I've seen it all and it's all dumb
I've been with everyone and no one

[Chorus]
So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shoot---

[Bridge]
If I could find the words to explain this fear
Then I would shout them out
If I could find out honestly what's inside it
I would shout it out

[Chorus]
So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shouting it out
[Verse 4]
I'll make some coffee
Pull on that good pair of pants
I can get so far towards it
The feeling just falls away

[Refrain]
I've seen it all and it's all dumb
I've been with everyone and no one

[Outro]
I'm just tired, baby
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, baby
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling
