Tatters Lyrics by Lou Reed

Tatters Lyrics

    Some couples live in harmony
    Some do not
    Some couples yell and scream
    Some do not

    But what you said was something
    That i can't forget
    It echoes in my head
    Like a bullet made of lead

    Some people yell and scream
    And some do not
    Some people sacrifice their lives
    And some do not

    Some people wait for sleep
    To take them away
    While others read books endlessly
    Hoping problems will go away

    I know you're hoping everything
    Works out
    Neither one of us is
    The type who shouts

    You sleep in the bedroom
    While i pace up and down the hall
    Our baby stares at both of us
    Wondering which one of us to call

    I guess it's true that not
    Every match burns bright
    I guess it's true
    Not all that i say is right

    But what you said still bounces
    Around in my head
    Who thought this could happen to us
    When we first went to bed

    I'm told in the end
    That none of this matters
    All couples have troubles
    And none of this matters

    But what you said
    Still echoes in my head
    And i'm still in the hallway
    Downstairs sleeping alone instead

    I know you don't care
    But here's my last thought
    Not that it matters
    But here's the last thing i thought

    Our little thing is lying
    Here in tatters
    And you my dear
    Don't have any manners

    Sad to leave this way
    To leave it all in tatters
    Saddening to leave this way
    To leave it all in tatters
    I suppose that we all could say
    That nothing of it matters
    Still it's sad
    To see everything in tatters
