[Verse 1]
I use my outside voice because I have no choice
The barn that I was raised in was constructed out of noise
And now I'm all torn up because my buttercup
Up and gone and left me, said she finally had enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Left me here to ruminate
On all she can't admit, and all she can't explain

[Chorus]
All time what
I never thought, I never thought
All time what
Things break apart, things break apart
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

[Verse 2]
Man, she pulled out the rug from her doodlebug
Rolling down the highway, not a worry in her mind
Here's a flash card where someone's written stultify
I take it as a sign, it's hard to redefine

[Pre-Chorus]
Same old sad soliloquy
They handed me a broom, the cast has left the room
[Chorus]
All time what
Stumble about, wrapped in a shroud
All time what
Partly submerged, playing a dirge

[Bridge]
Complete, completely, completelier
Defeat, defeated, defeatlier
Complete, completely, completelier
Defeat, defeated, defeatlier

[Chorus]
All time what
I never thought, I never thought
All time what
Things break apart, things break apart
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
