Garbage Day Lyrics - My Old Familiar Friend - Brendan Benson

I've tried but I don't believe her 

She lies, she's a deceiver 

I might, I might just leave her be 

Alone in my apartment 

Lights out I'm in the dark again 

I'll wait for someone to rescue me, to save me 

But if she throws her heart away 

I'll be there on garbage day 

To sift through what's left, I guess 

To sort through the loneliness 

And I don't mind, no, I don't mind 

If all the neighbors can see me 

I'll take whatever I can get when I can get it 

It's that easy, oh, believe me 

I've known so long, it's been on my mind 

Full blown by now and I'm wasting time 

I'll leave it all up to her to decide 

And she sighs and says she can't feel love 

She tries but just can't conceive of 

A life without so much pain inside 

And if she throws her heart away 

I'll be there on garbage day 

To sift through what's left, I guess 

To sort through the loneliness 

And I don't mind, no, I don't mind 

If all the neighbors can see me, yeah 

I'll take whatever I can get when I can get it 

It's that easy, oh, believe me, it's that easy 

So believe me, it's so easy 

So believe me, it's so easy 

And I know I won't see her here again
