Lyrics

Now that I’ve spent myself on you,
I did everything they told me to do,
Now I’m pulling you out like a baby tooth,
I wish I had told you the truth

The fall always leads with a sacrifice,
My mother tells me I haven’t been very nice,
At the end of August I start to rot,
And I pray that you’ll forgive me
For all the things that I am not

I made myself small for you
You kept me in your pocket
Pulling me out when you needed something to do,
Something pretty to roll between your fingers

Stood bright on your arm, like the sun in June
Flashing a smile big enough for two,
Now it’s the end of August I’m starting to rot,
And I pray that you’ll forgive me
For all the things that I am not

Now that I’ve spent myself on you
I did everything they told me I should do
I never wanted to be so heavy to carry
I wanted to be light, and easy
