| Is that the sweater I bought you
|
| On July 13th?
|
| I can tell by the color, I still have the receipt
|
| It’s pinned on my wall
|
| It stares me dead in the eye
|
| It haunts me day and night, but I wonder why
|
| I haven’t torn it to shreds
|
| It’s a pain in my throat
|
| But it goes so well with your black wool coat
|
| I see it in pictures, it’s been worn so well
|
| But it’s awful stretched out
|
| Has it been worn by somebody else?
|
| Has it been getting around?
|
| I bet it doesn’t smell like jasmine, or roses
|
| Or your laundry
|
| I suppose it’s
|
| Probably cigarettes
|
| Or Jameson
|
| Like all of your nights have been wasted in
|
| A 1973 Chevrolet Caprice, and somebody had better call the police
|
| 'Cause to me
|
| You might as well be missing or dead
|
| I heard he put it in the dryer
|
| I heard it fell apart
|
| The threads came undone, and it’s not too hard to read
|
| A 3-inch tag that sticks out from the back
|
| I don’t blame you, 'cause he always lacked the brain cells
|
| And the capacity to follow any direction, it’s an atrocity
|
| The way he treated my sweater, it came from the soul
|
| But everything gets worn, everything eventually gets old
|
| How do you plan to fight the cold?
|
| I bet it doesn’t smell like jasmine, or roses
|
| Or your laundry
|
| I suppose it’s
|
| Probably cigarettes
|
| Or Jameson
|
| Like all of your nights have been wasted in
|
| A 1973 Chevrolet Caprice, and somebody had better call the police
|
| 'Cause to me
|
| You might as well be missing or dead
|
| Oh, you might as well be missing or dead
|
| It used to be the nicest blend of black and white, but now it’s all just gray
|
| All the tiny little colors have worn away
|
| I hope you wore it to pieces and that it didn’t just fade away
|
| That day he threw it in the washing machine without a second thought
|
| But the worst part is you weren’t distraught
|
| You said, «Shit, that sucks, throw it in the trash»
|
| What did he do to you?
|
| You were never quite that rash
|
| What made you so rash?
|
| What made you so rash?
|
| Bet it doesn’t smell like jasmine, or roses
|
| Or your laundry
|
| I suppose it’s
|
| Probably cigarettes
|
| Or Jameson
|
| Like all of your nights have been wasted in
|
| A 1973 Chevrolet Caprice, and somebody had better call the police
|
| 'Cause to
|
| ('Cause to me)
|
| You might as well be missing or dead
|
| I haven’t heard from you in weeks
|
| I haven’t heard from you in weeks
