Wilco – I Am Trying To Break Your Heart lyrics

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I'm running out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when i let go of you?
Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when i said it didn't hurt?
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take from the inside, lady gold on tight
You so right when you said i been drinking
What was i thinking when we said goodnight?
I want to hold you in the bible-black pre-dawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me not

Take off your bandaid because i don't believe in touchdowns
What was i thinking when we said hello?
I always thought that if i held you tightly
You'd always love me like you did back then
Then i fell asleep & the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when i let you back in?
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
Used to be lying when i said it wasn't easy
I am trying to break your heart
Disposable Dixie cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm running out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when i let go of you?
