Art Smock Lyrics - Days Of Abandon - The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

I want to know what happened to you 

I liked you better in your art smock, mocking art rock 

Without intention, without design 

You said you'd never be fine with being fine, or mine 

So we went out to see your favorite band, 

Left when we saw they were bone and skin and 77 

And I wanted to be something like you 

And nothing like them 

What you wanted I never knew 

I was a mess but so were you 

I should have guessed it was going to fall

To pieces in my hands again 

I'm broken where I stand again 

I never learn this lesson right, 

But I want you here 

You learned to mingle with a well-bred crowd, 

Straightened your hair and forgot all about 

Torn jeans and sweaters from the lost and found, 

Dropped some pounds and the people that you used to hang around 

What you wanted I never knew 

I was a mess but you turned so cruel 

I should have guessed it was going to fall 

Photos 

To pieces in my hands again 

I'm broken where I stand again 

I never learn this lesson right 

When I spent the night it just felt wrong, 

Like a Felt song, I'm off the throne 

And I need you here, and you're not around
