| You have your own life, I know, but show up, you should
|
| I’m disappointed, my vision blurs alone on the curb
|
| Eight weeks since and it’s still the same
|
| «Something just came up, I’m so sorry»
|
| And maybe I’ve got needs that you can’t cure
|
| But I’m waiting by the phone until I’m sure
|
| Love like statistics, I’ve got a head full of hell alone in my thoughts
|
| Kill the subject; |
| refine the joke, which ever prompts response
|
| In the moments you laugh, it’s still not enough
|
| You miss me, you can’t mean that
|
| And maybe you’ve got needs that I can’t cure
|
| We sleep in separate houses
|
| A guarded head shapes the face and heart
|
| So loss ain’t bad
|
| I’m trading processing for sleep
|
| So it don’t seem sad that I’m losing you
|
| Blotch the face, blood vessels
|
| Broken heart and canvas skin
|
| Write it all out, you won’t ever quite describe it
|
| Loaned to father for weekends and given back without the interest
|
| Trivialize memories, dumb it down to make it fit
|
| Syllables, grammatical, read and rewrite for the reader
|
| All the bitter nights in my room alone
|
| They won’t know all my secret problems
|
| Or the love that overcame us both
|
| An untold twenty-two year story
|
| So it’s one tale and then another, I was saying earlier
|
| A guarded head shapes the face and heart
|
| So loss ain’t bad
|
| I’m trading processing for sleep
|
| So it don’t seem sad that I’m losing you
|
| When are you coming home, so |
