Where Good Guys Go to Die

Lyrics
He's been in love only all of his life
He has experienced love throughout his entire life.
Some say it's beautiful but others wrought
Some people perceive this love as beautiful, while others see it as causing distress or trouble.
The kind of love that keeps taking away
Describes a type of love that continuously takes away from him, draining his drive and willpower.
All of his drive and all of his will
The love he experiences diminishes his determination and motivation.
He's so decadent and you're so good
He is characterized as decadent, while someone else, possibly the listener, is portrayed as good.
At least that's what you keep telling yourself
The listener tries to convince themselves of their own goodness in contrast to his decadence.
If anybody hears this just nod along
Suggests that if anyone hears these thoughts, they should pretend to agree while secretly entering his life.
Then secretly sneak your way into my life
Encourages the listener to clandestinely become involved in his life.
Sometimes it feels like love
Love sometimes feels genuine and positive.
Sometimes it feels so wrought
At other times, love feels distressing or problematic.
No ones left everybody's gone home

Who's gonna keep the score when everybody lose

I don't know does it really matter now
Uncertainty about the relevance of determining what caused the problem.
Lets just get through this somehow

Just let me go!
