The Receiving End Of It All Songtext

So Marigold, my love, you've had too much to drink - And I need not remind you, our discount tickets for this sinking ship - Take-backs and sweet regrets, that's all that we have left - No one is looking out for anyone but number one - One to one, two to dance, we all get our sweet romance - Though sour grapes will turn to wine its all just vinegar with time - And oh, I want to know, we all want to know - How can anybody treat somebody so? - She said it hurts too much - I said it will never hurt enough - No one will ever see these cuts - No one will ever call this bluff - But that's just the way that it goes - And when he left us he said, "It's not so bad" - That motherfucker he took everything we had - And when I'm thinking back, I'm counting all the ways - Nobody helped us so we dreamt of better days - And we sang: "Yeah that's just the way that it goes" - Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like - And we broke all our promises and baby that ain't right - Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all - Take it back, take it back because you don't know what it's like to be on the receiving end of it all - No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all - You beg and plead, but no one here can save you - Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves? - So Marigold, someday we'll have to write a script - But I won't stop denying ashamed of all the selfish things we did - Dropped out of every single friendship that you had - They nearly loved you, but you never could have loved somebody back - Tell me of your sorrows; tell me everything from the start - I'd like to do my part to help a friend in need - I said you could come to me, but when you needed someone most, I wasn't there, - I wasn't even...
