too much time has passed the
instrumental version of suicide is painless plays as the credits roll and you are indeed that boy again sitting on the floor in front of the tv wondering why they are not together anymore and who are all these new ppl telling you what to do you go back there true story and you hum the words that the instrumental leaves out
