Lyrics

Once I gave a look to you
But you never gave it back
So here I stand expressionless
But my memory's intact

I guess the past is good for a laugh
A comedy so dry and black
That it makes my stomach hurt so bad, I cried

So two thumbs up we give this one
Despite its predictable ending
The dialogue seemed rushed and wrong
But the actors did their best
To lay some worth on every word
Like coffins dropped into the earth
The saddest song we ever heard

We sang along, we sang it:
Take this weight away
Take this weight away..
