Victorian break-up song

lyrics

Maybe I'm the one to blame but I'm leaving you just the same. I just can't seem to see through to you anymore. All I see are glassy eyes when you even care enough to rise and greet me with a hug at the door.

I found an empty bottle stashed behind the sink. Found another in the closet and I began to think there's more than just water in that cup you like to drink. You'll be a lonely laudanum lady now.

Talking didn't seem to do the trick. You just told me you were sick and more excuses that I've all heard before. Said, "There's a choice that you must make: a smile that's real or one that's fake." But your hopped up snicker turned to a roar.

I've been going around in circles with these thoughts inside my head. I wonder if it'd help you if I turned my back and left. I'd go and break my own heart if it'd help put yours on the mend. But you'll be a lonely laudanum lady now.
