you walk down alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone   like some precious only son   face down, bow to the champion   you walk down alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk   thinking about your friends   how you maintain all them in a constant state of suspense   for your own protection over their affection   nobody broke your heart   you broke your own because you can't finish what you start   walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish   could plague me when i'm awake   and now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate   for one or two minutes she liked you   but the fix is in   you're all pretension   i never pay attention   nobody broke your heart   you broke your own because you can't finish what you start   nobody broke your heart   you broke your own because you can't finish what you start   nobody broke your heart   you broke your own because you can't finish what you start   nobody broke your heart   if you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart
