When we met we still had innocence |
|
And we did things 'cause they made sense |
|
Without trying hard I made it final |
|
And we conceived our children on backseat vinyl |
|
Though we didn't have a lot |
|
(But) one was quickly bought |
|
Then we buit upon this ground something we thought was sound |
|
But in reality was silence |
|
I can't tell you why it all breaks down |
|
And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around |
|
I only picked up your story knowing you were lying |
|
Don't ask me for advice |
|
You'll have to learn to help yourself |
|
When I look back now I plainly see |
|
The misery I'm sure you don't agree |
|
And all the products of those peaceful years |
|
The broken plates and glasses and the shouting hurt my ears |
|
Sometimes I wish I was asleep |
|
And you were just another sheep |
|
And when we finally fell apart |
|
You were left holding the cart |
|
Though you thought I'd said I'd push it |
|
I can't tell you why it all breaks down |
|
And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around |
|
I keep dropping those hints but they never touched the ground |
|
I'm useless to you now |
|
You'll have to learn yourself to help yourself |
|
I had never planned on this being so complicated |
|
You had never planned on us being so separated |
|
The spiteful words will heal with time |
|
Eventually they rhyme |
|
You can forget but not forgive the fact that I still live |
|
And never wanted you to give... in |
|
I can't tell you why it all breaks down |
|
And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around |
|
You weren't satisfied I was only superhuman |
|
Don't ask me for advice |
|
You'll have to learn to help |
|
I can't tell you why it all breaks down |
|
And please don't ask me why I'm no longer around |
|
Well I could only stand sitting here so long |
|
You don't need my help |
|
You'll have to learn to help yourself |
