Lyrics How To Suffer - Dan Potthast

How To Suffer

If you could teach me how to suffer
I’d never leave you for another
I’ll help you clean your plate
And we could erase all our mistakes
Remember when I said that,
I didn’t really mean it
But you turned away, you turned away
I’ll help you clean your plate,
And we could repeat our past mistakes
And now who wins?
Now who’s the sucker?
I’ve watched more lines slip by than a trucker
What are your regrets?
Do you have regrets?
I’m obviously not done yet
Why don’t I feel things like you do,
And why don’t you think that my words are true?
I heard a whisper, a silent small stutter,
Slight hesitation, «will you be my lover?»
If we could just trick each other,
I’d never leave you for another
You think I’m perfect and I think you’re too
We’ll fool the world, and I’ll love you true
And now who wins?
Now who’s the sucker?
I’ve watched more lines slip by than a trucker
What are your regrets?
Do you have regrets?
I’m obviously, obviously
You and me
Not done yet
