Dollar Well Spent

When they found me there
I was stuck in the middle between nowhere
Strung out in an easy chair that was good for you

With darkness all around
I can feel it movin' underground
And I know it's not a good thing, baby

You came and went
Like a dollar well spent
I was wrong and you were right
It was dark and I was night
But I couldn't get it right

I always wanted you
To be glue that pulled us through, but it
Hurt too bad when we came apart

I ruined your good silk dress
That never walked away and never got depressed
And it should because it’s a good thing

You came and went
Like a dollar well spent
I was wrong and you were right
It was dark and I was night
But I still put up a fight
