Screeching Weasel - I Wrote Holden Caufield lyrics

I loved you for the minute

when you decided to tell me the truth

I heard you and that night I cried for you

I know that you're alone just like everyone else in the world

Don't tell me that things don't get better

'cause sometimes they do

Sometimes they do and I know they will for you

The days are getting shorter

and you're forgetting the things you just said

I'm hoping that you'll move ahead

I wonder if you'll ever come to realize what I always knew

I wrote Holden Caulfield and so did you

I wanna know if you wanna wake up

I wanna know when you'll stop dying

for what you've done

stop crying for what you've done

it's only the past

it's only life

what have you done that's so bad

it's only life so don't waste time

why don't you stop crying

for what's done for what is done
