Lyrics Weaknesses - Parenthetical Girls

Weaknesses

Before each bit of gladness
Someone must taste of sadness
I’ll bear the sorrow
Let it be
No matter what the price is
I’ll make the sacrifices
For each tomorrow
Let it be
Can’t you be still for just one second?
There now, clear the hair out of your face
And try to fit your fingers round your waist
Piece of cake, oh God, you look great
And I know he knows some perfect thing to say
Though I don’t suppose they’d notice if we’re a little late
Let them wait, and anyways
Remember who was there to square your zipper back in place
Done in my books and bother
And a fondness for another
Well, no one waits forever
I’m torn in more than one direction
The questions open-ended by design
We’ll best these indescretions given time
Provided I might stay another night
And I know he knows, and that’s all I’m going to say
I suppose that I’ve noticed you’ve never said his name
More dour on the hour and duller by the day
No heart is always in the wrong place
Oh honey, sure I’m flattered
So forgive me for this candor
But what is it you’re after?
I’m business as usual
And you practice your birth-control
Tell me, was this as tawdry as it sounds?
Can’t be weak for just one second?
I reckon this is tough to justify
But I’ve never done one pure thing in my life
Oh, nevermind just guide these hallowed hips of mine into those equine thighs
