“I’m afraid to let you down”
“now or in your wedding gown”
tilting my head, looking away
and then I got on
reciting what I’ve done
“you should know the truth”
mhhhhh, mhhhh
“I have words to share with you”
“no matter what you do”
“I like who you are”
“so dump those thoughts” you said
with a light voice, quite frank
“I don’t expect a thing from you”
mhhhhh, mhhhh
I must say I enjoy our time together
you are almost too sweet to be true
I never said ‘thank you’ for your efforts
to keep me in this sort of divine mood
they say this is how life goes by
nevermind how hard we’ve tried
it will surprise you (surprise me)
surprise you (surprise me)
you always say exactly what you want
and you do seem to know what that is
you don’t care for playing by the rules
which is fine by me as long as it’s fun
it is greedy / really needy / and so easy / to fall
feeling happy / and sadly / untrustworthy / today
they were crying / hardly trying / to reach / out their hands
it’s my beautiful addiction
not so beautiful affliction
and it’s a beautiful hello
she says “shut up”
“I know that life sucks”
“I’ve had it worse than you”
“grow up” she laughs
“get out” and hugs me
“make some news so you can”
“come back and tell me”
“all about it”
“I can’t wait to see you smile”
she turns around
and shuts the door
there’s still a lot to do
some day, she swears
her kids will break her
never seeing what they’ve done
and though she
has these moments
she knows that all is gonna be just fine
I don’t know why I’m here
and I hope you don’t mind
share your story with me
I will gladly tell you mine
I’ve been trying to move on and
leave those tears behind me
though I can’t say it’s better
it’s not as bad as you might think
just like that, I lost my head
when you said “hey, look ahead”
and just like that, I can’t catch
my breath when I see you in my mind
tell me what you want with
all this weight on your shoulders?
there are no rainy days in June
just tell me what you do with
all the colors of the rainbow?
they fade away with the sun
it wouldn’t be fair to make promises that we can’t keep
we can try to see what’s best but certainty gets lost
if you told me I’d have a chance to do it over again
I wouldn’t change a thing and I’m not sure what that means
but I know as bad as things turned out to be this time
I take comfort in not traveling alone on this road
