lyrics
Seventeen years, seventeen fucking years all counted up
Since that woman so impolitely took you off
Left you broken and bleeding in long grass
To die, slowly die
By the road
Alone
I hope it didn't take long, though
That report tells me it did
And would your life have been as painful
As your leaving it?
Would it have been accolades deserved
For your talent squandered
Or bitter midnight deliveries until
You were the franchise that has itself gone
I feel weighed down by guilt some days still
I feel I'd have been holding your hand until
Well, death
You were independent, aloof almost
You may have been fine out there
Probably would have stopped calling any of us
Seventeen years, seventeen fucking years
All counted
Trust me
I count them
