Fabric

His footsteps in the stairs
 They just ruined my peace
 With a layman's sense of style
 He arrived
 The footsteps in the stairs
 They just ruin my peace
 With a layman's sense of style
 He arrived
 And I never liked
 The cloak-and-dagger approach to love
 But with that, one day at a time
 I get by
 All the strain of being with him
 I may appear insane
 Someone in constant search for pain
 But seen against a backdrop
 A fabric not that thin
 It's all good, I could've been
 Forgetting the name of my lover
 Moving right on to another
 Going on like this my whole life through
 I'm so glad it's over
 That I'm here with my three-leaf clover
 No longer out for someone new
 But I, I never really saw the pieces fall into place
 But I'm sure I saw them try
 Yes they tried
 And I never really saw the pieces fall into place
 But I'm sure I saw them try
 Yes they tried
 All the strain of being with him
 I may appear insane
 Someone in constant search for pain
 But seen against a backdrop
 A fabric not that thin
 It's all good I could have been
 Breaking the bones of a lover
 Moving right on to another
 Going on like that my whole life through
 I'm so glad it's over
 That I'm here with my three-leaf clover
 No longer after someone new
 And that's why I've come to this secret understanding
 With myself
 Not another one
 Not another one
 No longer out for another one
 No longer after someone new
