I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2022 Remaster) Songtext
von Wilco

I am an American aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
I′m hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Let′s undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke, so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?

I wanna glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take it from the inside, baby, hold on tight
You were so right when you said that I've been drinking
What was I thinking when I said good night?


I wanna hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You′re quite a quiet domino, bury me now
Take off your band-aid because I don′t believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when I said hello?

I'd always thought that if I held you tightly
You′d always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?

I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn′t easy
I am trying to break your heart

Disposable Dixie-cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

Loves you
I′m the man who loves you
