lyrics

You are the gay techno-anarchist future
Knowing you gives me hope
You're so clever, you're so nice, you're funny
You're even funnier when you're sad

I love you more than you love me
But I don't care, I just want you happy

You do too much for everyone else around you
So it's only fair that I do too much for you
But tell me what's the difference between abandonment
And performative abandonment?

I love you more than you love me
But I don't care, I just want you happy

Everything that I said to you was true
In those desperate hand-written love letters
But don't worry baby, I won't stalk you, I won't slander you
I don't have a bad word to say about you or your boyfriends

I love you more than you love me
But I don't care, I just want you happy

I've lost my house, my truck, my wife, and my dog
But what's a cowboy without self-aggrandized suffering
Maybe tomorrow we can look at each other without seeing
Trauma mirrored in our eyes

I love you more than you love me
But I don't care, I just want you happy
I love you more than you love you
Oh baby, please let yourself be happy

You treat me like I am disposable
I want to protect you but how can I protect you from me?

Let me be your dog
Let me be your dog
Let me make up for the bad things in your past
