lyrics

I’m a symbol of something lost, far enough beyond my ways and means

I could go back into history, but I’ll say I picked it up in my teens

Fortunately for a long long time, mercy found me, put me in a good place

Even though it came easily, I missed it when it disappeared

without a trace



How does it feel, now that you’re the one in need

You’re just like me, a registered charity



I met a match that could kill me, but I wouldn’t let it go

I fought so hard to be stronger, drawing blood, if only to know

I can go to the bitter end, ‘cause I’ve got less to lose

Now I see it destroyed us both, such a waste to fight a battle that I

would never choose



How does it feel, now that you’re the one in need

You’re just like me, a registered charity



Scraping away, we make it last, stretching another day

Saving the ends for you, I know we’ll make it up someway



Yes, I’m a beautiful loser, helpless and without a deal

I offer meager and measly pieces of something you’re supposed to feel

You’re sincerely ungrateful, you never knew what you’d catch

When you messed with the spiteful kind

Heaven shows someone knows how to make

your agony stretch

How does it feel, now that you’re the one in need

You’re just like me, a registered charity

How does it feel, now that you’re the one in need

You’re just like me, a registered charity
