Lyrics Never Really Know - Glue

Never Really Know

I’m sorry I’m 3 months late
Keeping you up to date on my travels and shape
Things have been going great and for honesty’s sake
It’s good to sort it all out and get the story straight
Justified by infinite car rides, I’ve had the time to sort and process us
And I can’t say for sure but I think I’ve finally started making some sense
And good, out of old habits, they don’t go away young
I can’t ignore the fact that we used to think as one
It’s like watching the flower grow into old age
No matter how much water you give it, it fades away
You lose what you love, nature always make sure
You bruise when you touch, nature always stays pure
With her I wouldn’t have it any other way
There’s hope in the things good people have to say, (drop)
We’ll do anything in our power to forget the past
Or we sing songs to make the best moments last
I grab these recent years anytime I can
Close my eyes and relive the all laughing again
And I’ve been through this before but it’s never the same
Fought the same kind of war, for someone else’s name
I don’t want to go back, but something’s pulling me there
No matter how much I concentrate your ghost is still here
You never really know…
My eyes are giving out from staring into nothing
They’ve been looking inside to fix the malfunction
Reliving old moments to say the right thing
That’s my god given gift of imagining
What it could have been like, what it would of been like
To build a world as man and wife, despite that
I chose tears without explanation
Standing in the rain nursing my patience
But then again there was nothing left for me to say
Or at least I was convinced that was the only way
To get past the cities limits and visit myself for once
Find an audience that mimics the people I trust
Confront the damaged parts of my psyche
So the rest of the world could start to like me
But first things first, the slate must be clean
Change the things you can touch but leave the rest to dreams
I seem jaded but it’s more like preoccupied
Saving everyone I can in this little world of mine
It’s always been this way, roadblocks and broken toes
I’m trying to keep it going, cause I know one day I’ll grow
Into the world’s best therapist with something to show
It’s all so overwhelming, you never really know.
…
Reality check, she doesn’t live here anymore, dont
Reality check, she can’t hear what your saying
Reality check, at some point the connection’s gone
Reality check, there’s a reason this happened
What happens when you slit your wrists and everyone dies except you?
