"Brassneck (Steve Albini Version)" lyrics

No, I sent you that letter
To ask you if the end was worth the means
Was there really no inbetween?

And I still don't feel better
I just wondered if it could be like before
And I think you just made me sure!

But then that's typically you
And it might have been a bit true
But I wrote it in a bad mood

I'm not being funny with you
But it's hard to be engaging
When the things you love keep changing

Brassneck. Brassneck
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
I just decided I don't trust you anymore

First time you came over
Do you remember you saying that you'd stay for good?
No I didn't think you would

Well, we couldn't've been closer
But it was different then, and that's all in the past
There I've said it now at last!

You grew up quicker than me
I kept so many old things
And never quite stopped hoping

I think I know what this means
It means I've got to grow up
It means you want to throw up

Brassneck, Brassneck
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
I just decided I don't love you anymore

I just know, you weren't listening, were you?
Oh please go, whenever you'd prefer to
I said it means a lot, when you use an old phrase
But then so what? We can't have it both ways

And I know, you're not bothered, are you?
Even so, I'm not going to argue
He won't object! Keep writing to me
Just don't forget you ever knew me
