Bright Eyes Ive Been Eating For You Lyrics

Ive Been Eating For You Lyrics

So, Im just the medicine

You take when youre sick

You get well and
thats it

Im put back on the shelf in your mirror

And it isnt
exceptional

The course of our fate

So, people love and they hate

And I guess its just our turn to hate

Yeah, you were just some song I
wrote

A poem on a page

A sculpture I made out of clay

Desire
was the flame

But now youre more of a basketball

Boys just pass you
around

They bounce you hard on the ground and dribble

And then we
all get high fives

And you think Im an asshole now

Well, youre
probably right

But at least Im not blind to the facts

Ive been
wishing were lies

But still I hope you get everything

That you care
to possess

And unbelievable sex with him

Or any one of my friends

But just dont ask about my appetite

I didnt lose it tonight

No,
its been gone half my life

Its just act, Ive been eating for you
